Eight days of presents (well, in theory, anyway).

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah -

You add the candles from right to left but light them left to right.

So, let the serious eating commence.

Please pace yourself - Eight days is a long time. And kids, know when a simple game becomes an addiction - please no actual gambling while playing with your dreidels.

Our second them for the night is a salute to prisoner 1073015 -

Through the mid-'60s, Phil Spector was focused on singles, with his definition of an album being "two hits and ten pieces of junk." He took a different approach, however, when he put together a Christmas album in 1963, where he put a great deal of effort into every track. So please join us at ACME while we listen to The Phil Spector Christmas Album.



The only original song on the album was Darlene Love's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), which he wrote with Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. Spector issued the song as a single when the album came out, but unfortunately this was the same day US president John F. Kennedy was shot and killed. This seriously dampened the holiday mood and the single, as well as the album, were withdrawn.

I know it's not Christmas in our home unless we hear Darlene Love sing, so please enjoy Darlene Love's very first Christmas appearance on the David Letterman Show







And here's her 2014 (and final) appearance on the David Letterman Show:



But fear not -



And she actually sings other holiday songs:

All Alone on Christmas -




Christmas Must Be Tonight -




Christmastime for the Jews -
