If We Make It Through December (album)

''If We Make It Through December'' is the 19th studio album by American country singer Merle Haggard, released in 1974. It reached number 4 on the ''Billboard'' country album charts.〔(Allmusic entry for ''If We Make It Through December''. )〕 The title track was previously released on Haggard's Christmas release of 1973, ''A Christmas Present''. The single spent four weeks at No. 1 on the ''Billboard magazine'' Hot Country Singles chart in December 1973 and January 1974, and cracked the Top 30 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. "If We Make It Through December" was the No. 2 song of the year on ''Billboard's'' Hot Country Singles 1974 year-end chart.〔(Billboard charts 1974 )〕
==History==
Haggard's 1973 Christmas single "If We Make It Through December" proved to be so popular that it became the title track for this February 1974 release. The song explores the feelings of an unemployed father struggling to make ends meet and provide a happy Christmas for his daughter. As Daniel Cooper observes in the liner notes to the 1994 Haggard box set ''Down Every Road'', "That it's one of the most heartbreaking Christmas songs ever recorded didn't matter to people who prefer honestly rendered pain to false merriment."〔''Down Every Road 1962–1994'' compilation album. Liner notes by Daniel Cooper〕 In his book ''Merle Haggard: The Running Kind'', David Cantwell notes that "If We Make It Through December" is a Christmas song, but "it feels like an anti-Christmas song. The character he plays isn't just feeling blue this holiday season like we've seen in hundreds of other Christmas numbers. He ''hates'' Christmas, hates the whole idea of it, at least this year." The song reached number one on the country singles chart and crossed over to number 28 on the pop charts, becoming Haggard's biggest hit.
Although Haggard had been writing the majority of the songs on his LPs for years, outside contributions dominate this album. As he later recalled in his 1981 autobiography ''Sing Me Back Home'', Haggard and wife Bonnie Owens were splitting up at the time.
