About If We Make It Through December

"If We Make It Through December" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Merle Haggard and The Strangers. It was released in October 1973 as the lead single from the album Merle Haggard's Christmas Present, and was the title track on a non-Christmas album four months later. In the years since its release, "If We Make It Through December" — which, in addition to its Christmas motif, also uses themes of unemployment and loneliness — has become one of the trademark songs of Haggard's career.  more »

If We Make It Through December everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow
If We Make It Through December,
Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time,
Maybe even California,
If We Make It Through December, we'll be fine,
Got laid off down at the factory
And their timing's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been working hard, wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
I don't mean to hate December,
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And my little girl don't understand why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
If We Make It Through December everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow
If We Make It Through December,
Got plans to be a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California,
If We Make It Through December, we'll be fine.

Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »
