The last Late Show with David Letterman before Christmas Eve is one of the great unheralded annual holiday traditions in the United States (and wherever Letterman appears on the tee-vee machine).
You owe it to yourself and family to watch this Thursday night (11:35 Eastern & Pacific) Or set the VCR/DVR/TIVO.
I wrote about why this event brings me so much joy a year ago in The Huffington Post.
Read The Most Festive Night of the Year! to learn why I cannot wait for this show year after year after year. The tradition began in 1998!
