I watch "The Late Show with David Letterman." Beneath Letterman's offputting persona you will find a sentimental man, a man who believes in tradition, especially Christmas traditions. "The Late Show" Christmas tradition is a three-part affair. Part one, Jay Thomas tells "The Lone Ranger" story:
Part two, Jay and Dave try to knock a giant meatball off the top of a Christmas tree with a football:
And part three is the great Darlene Love performing "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)."
When I've seen the Letterman Christmas show, I know Christmas is here.
Thanks so much for catching that Darlene Love "Christmas...(Baby Please Come Home)" piece from Letterman. I agree, that it's become one of the big moments for my Christmas celebration every year.
ReplyDeleteBut I somehow got distracted by snow shoveling or a family matter and woke up the next day only to remember I hadn't even TIVOed it!
Bummer, eh?! So thanks for the treat. Merry Christmas and thanks Darlene - and David - for your annual gift!
