i know this is not a lot to go on, but i need some help indentifying a christmas song i heard last night.

it’s was a new-wavish sounding song, and the last minute or so of the song was a girl talking (spoken, not sung) about christmas and the tree and going somewhere for the holidays. the only line i know for sure is “it’s six hours away”. i think she was talking about going to her grandmas house. it totally reminded me of moon unit zappa in the song “valley girl”.

i know it’s not a lot to go on, but any help would be appreciated.

This is a long shot, as I don’t know that particular line’s in it, but is it The Waitresses _Christmas Wrapping_? [Youtube link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyEztz6nY9Q)
