Darlene Love plays my favorite Christmas song every year on the LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, ‘Please come Home.’

She performs the song each season on the Letterman show..

I have always loved the 1995 performance the best. Maybe it’s because I remember just being young, staying up late to watch this song and falling in love with it.. Her voice is strong–and it still is now. This may be the happiest and saddest song I have ever heard.. I love it, even though it empties my soul of joy at the same time..

I hope you have a baby that comes home this year.. I hope you have the experience of mistletoe and parties, good fun and food, joy and love, peace and magic.

I hope you are able to regain that Christmas spirit if it left.. and if you still have it, never lose it.
