Merle Haggard ‘If We Make it Through December’ KLAW Classic

You make think that the Merle Haggard hit 'If We Make it Through December' is simply a Christmas song, but you would be wrong.

It's a song about economy, about hard times and about hope.  'If we make it through December, I know everything will be alright'. It's a common theme in songs written by Merle Haggard. He has championed the workin man in many songs including today's KLAW Classic written and recorded by himself and hitting the top of the charts for the 1st of a 2 week run on this day in 1973.
