First released: 1963
A holiday favorite for all of The Beatles. They recorded an impromptu version for "A Beatles Christmas Record" (also on "The Beatles Christmas Album" from 1970) that eventually substituted “Ringo” for “Reindeer” to comical effect. Later, in 1975, Paul recorded an instrumental version of the tune with “Reggae” substituting for “Reindeer” and released as the b-side of his "Wonderful Christmastime" single in 1979. This was belatedly added to the "Back to the Egg" CD reissue. Finally, Ringo himself recorded a proper and good version of the classic Gene Autry sung tune for his "I Wanna Be Santa Claus" album in 1999.
