What was your all-time best Christmas?

Paul McCartney: I think probably when my kids were growing up. With the anticipation of Father Christmas coming and with the opening of the presents on Christmas morning. Even though the kids always got you up a little bit too early!

PM.com: “Did you creep around with the presents and the stockings?”

Paul: “No, Father Christmas did. What are you suggesting?!”

PM.com: “We would never suggest anything!”

Paul: “How could you suggest that?! Withdraw that remark! [Paul winks] Yeah, you know, those were always great. When the kids were little was especially good because you see it through their eyes, so it’s great excitement.”

We asked Paul, “What would you like to achieve in 2018?”

Paul: “I’ll probably be putting out a new album. So, I’d like that to be something I really love and then hopefully the fans will love it too! We’re putting the finishing touches to it now and at the beginning of next year. So, I would like to achieve making that a really great album. Fingers crossed! That’s not what it’s called, but fingers crossed! [Pauses] It could be… it COULD be the new album title!”

Happy Chrissie to y’all!

I hope everyone has a really wonderful Christmas and has a great time with their loved ones – and enjoys every minute!

Love Paul x
