Some holiday Love

I guess it’s a small thing, but I look forward every year to David Letterman’s last new show before Christmas, because the musical guest is always Darlene Love singing “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” They go all out on the arrangement, and it’s really nice.

Well, tonight I got an early and unexpected treat — the Robert Smigel cartoon on “Saturday Night Live” was a wonderful novelty song by Darlene Love, “Christmastime for the Jews,” about what it’s like to be Jewish in New York on a day when so many businesses and public institutions are closed. It was done in black and white stop motion animation. It was charming and funny without being disrespectful to either Jews or Christians, and the music was in a classic retro-60s style not unlike “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”

Then, as an extra added treat, when the cartoon was over the bumper to commercial had Darlene Love live, in the studio, singing with the SNL band!
