Merry Christmas
&
Happy Holidays to All
Many years ago, my wife and I were up late doing the parent thing on Christmas Eve. You know the drill, Dad is doing “some assembly required” while Mom reads him the instructions poorly translated from the original “Chinese Text”. In order to eliminate the use of colorful language on Christmas Eve, we had Letterman playing in the background. 
It’s really funny how traditions are formed but that year we formed a tradition that has lasted the better part of two decades now. At the close of Dave’s show on Christmas Eve, he always has Darlene Love singing “Baby, Please Come Home”. Now it doesn’t seem like Christmas until we’ve heard Darlene sing. Our kids are pretty much grown and we don’t do “some assembly required” anymore but I can’t think of any better way to spend time with my dearest friend than cuddled up on the sofa with a glass of red wine listening to our special Christmas carol. The little things in life never cease to amaze me.
I started to drop in the YouTube video from 2005, my favorite year but I wasn’t sure about copyright laws. (That tells you you’ve been around for a long time, when you compare years of a song on a television show like you would fine wines) so instead I’m enclosing the link just in case you want to hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXVcrWO5FCg
Merry Christmas Everybody
