Merle Haggard - A Christmas Present
"If We Make It Through December" holds a special slot in the Christmas music canon, and deservedly so. Like that song, all the original Haggard songs on this disc are the cream of the crop, slices of holiday cheer cut the way only Ole Hag could cut 'em. "Santa Claus and Popcorn" is a pretty subversive dig into non-Christian Christmas tradition, while "Bobby Wants a Puppy Dog for Christmas" is sort of self-explanatory. Nothing like Haggard for the holidays!
