Friday Links (All I Want for Christmas edition)!

It's Friday! The third Friday in December. The third! I'm hosting a big party tomorrow and don't have all the shopping or baking done, yet! I'm doooooooooomed!

Anyway, here is a collection of news and other things that I ran across over the course of the week which struck me as worthy of being shared:

Every year since 1986, David Letterman has invited Darlene Love to perform on the last show of the year before Christmas. Every year, she sings “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” her Phil Spector-produced 1963 Christmas classic. Every year, Paul Shaffer and a sprawling cast of musicians backs her up. Next May, Letterman will retire from late-night TV, which means that when Love appears on Friday’s show to sing “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” it’ll be the last time singing it on Letterman’s show.

Here is a super-cut Best of Darlene Love Singing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" on David Letterman:
