Hayes Carll - Grateful for Christmas (Live on KEXP)

[Besties2954]

I'm 15.I haven't talked to my 9 year old sister since I was 13 and my 5 year old sister thinks I don't care about her. My parents think I have an attitude problem and I can't do anything right. On the way to a family gathering for Christmas this song came on and my family has never been better. We care and talk and spend time together again. For the first time in two years my sisters told me they loved me. My mom and dad laughed together and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for this song..

I love this song. It is sad and loving, not sarcastic and mean. Every Christmas, the list of friends and family gets a little shorter. For those of you who take trouble to visit during the holidays, I am grateful that you are in my life.

This song simultaneously evokes a tear and a smile. SO many wonderful memories of my own family over the years. Thank you for being a drunk with a pen, Hayes!
