Pop Song of the Week: “If We Make It Through December”

My late father used to quote this Merle Haggard song every now and then but I never realized how much truth it contained until this year. Granted, my immediate family has been in better shape than most, but then again many of my relatives up North still work for the Big Three so it's way too soon to pretend that all members of mi familia have dodged the traditional holiday pink slip.

Anyway, there are times when you just need a country song to say what needs to be said. This is one of them.

I hope you all understand.
