    Merry Christmas to America and the world. More radio stations should play this song each year before Christmas. It would catch a lot of empty souls to pay attention to the message. Whether you believe in Christmas or not this song can catch one pay attention to the words maybe for the first time.

      As far as I know, this is a very personal Robbie-song, celebrating the birth of his son. Maybe the "thumbdown trolls" are just wondering why that song is performed in Levon´s studio, since Levon spent the last 35 years of his life profoundly hating Robbie? Don´t get me wrong, though, I do NOT take side in that sad feud, I simply love and respect all five of the guys and bless them for all those great songs. And this one is great, too. So, no thumb down from me, only - thank you Amy and the rest of you for making this beautiful version yet another great BAND-song.
