One of the most enjoyable and enduring activities
that The Beatles engaged in during their brief time together was the yearly recording of
Christmas messages that were pressed on flexi-discs and sent out to members of The Beatles Fan Club from
1963 through 1969.
"Over the years, every holiday season would not be complete for me without hearing The Beatles'
Christmas messages. More than anything else, it was The Beatles' humor that made them so special. One forgot
about the importance of their music and felt part of some hilarious inside joke. There was also a very British,
almost Dickensian aspect to hearing the recordings, which transported me to England for Christmas for those
few brief minutes, especially on the earliest recordings"...Steve Matteo.
