Retro Video of the Week: "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by U2

This week's holiday-themed Retro Video of the Week is U2's 1987 cover of one of the most iconic Christmas songs of the rock and roll era, Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," off of the legendary 1963 Christmas album, A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector -- which I have publicly lauded in 2007 and 2018 (an privately lauded 413 times).  U2's version was part of the A Very Special Christmas compilation album, which featured holiday classics sung by various huge artists of the day.  And they made an accompanying video, which is a bonus for my Retro Video of the Week purposes.
