His is a voice of great depth, able to reflect growing pains and heartbreak with a slight crack in his otherwise manly voice. It is great testament to his interpretive powers that even when delivering a series of holiday songs Merle Haggard is able to make it something deeply touching and personal. This is an interesting collection that puts "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" up against a tale of deep economic woe ("If We Make It Through December"), while still managing to include several sentimental Christmas tales ("Bobby Wants a Puppy Dog for Christmas," "Grandma's Homemade Christmas Card"). Whether he's singing about hobos, prisoners, fugitives, or family, Haggard always keeps it real. --Rob O'Connor

    4 out of 5 stars Have a holly, jolly, Haggard holiday!.......2003-11-17

    An outstanding holiday album, with Merle crooning over a tasteful bed of strings'n'pedal steel; he was admirably suited to the cornball spirit of the holidays, and really put his heart into each of these tracks... Most of the songs are Haggard originals, ranging from tearjerkers like "Grandma's Homemade Christmas Card" and "Daddy Won't Be Home Again For Christmas" (he's in prison...) to a sleighbell-bedecked remake of "If We Can Make It Through December" and the cheery "Santa Claus And Popcorn." Plus, his spins at older tunes like "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" and "Blue Christmas" are pretty rich and resonant -- Merle's version of "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a welcome addition to the hillbilly holiday repertoire.  (The CD reissue also includes a bonus track from 1986, a jazzy acoustic version of "White Christmas..." It doesn't match the tone of the other tracks, but it's also kinda cool.) This is a really nice album.

      5 out of 5 stars Our First Christmas LP.......2001-11-15

      This was our first Christmas LP and we bought it 27 years ago. It is The family favorite. Some of the songs may be a little different but I think you will like it. The song "If We Make It Through December" became our theme song. This is the first time I have found it in a cd so I bought it.
