This one is for Julia. My beautiful Julia, my cohort, my navigator, my sounding board, my helper, my shopping buddy, my joy, my worry, my babygirl. She faithfully reads my blog everyday and when I ran my musical choices past her, she lit up at this song and told me it was one of her favorites. Being it's The Eagles, it also one of mine. And Julia? You did me real proud today ... I love you, my poupounette.
Please Come Home For Christmas - The Eagles

Brown wrote the song with Gene Redd, a New York producer who went on to guide the career of Kool and the Gang. Hitting Billboard's Hot 100 chart in December 1961, it peaked at #76. Appearing on the Christmas Singles chart for nine seasons, it hit #1 in 1972. The Eagles covered and released the song as a single in 1978. Their version peaked at #18 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts and was originally released as a vinyl 7" single; the nineties saw a re-release of a CD-single.
