Nobody sings this song like Darlene Love,

As much as I miss watching Letterman since his retirement, I miss this holiday tradition with Darlene Love belting out this beautiful song….

[TheStrawThatStirsTheDrink]

As you get older, Christmas loses its charm bit by bit. It becomes more like a chore than a holiday. But then you hear Darlene open with "Christmas... Snows coming down." All the spirit and the wonder come back.

Of all Darlene's appearances on Letterman, this is one of the best. With the military participation, it brings the most meaning to "Baby please come home".

Will certainly miss them
Always enjoyed listening to
Darlene Love

The great choral sound from the Singing Sergeants really makes this version.
A great network tv moment

This was a Christmas tradition that I was sorry to see end when Dave retired. This particular year with the military was my favorite one. Merry Christmas!!!!

Always a wonderful tradition. Year after year watching Dave and Paul. Thanks for all the great memories.🎄
