John Prine - Christmas in Prison

A live track from his 1973 triumph “Sweet Revenge,” assuming the perspective of a lovesick jailbird. “The search light in the big yard / Swings ‘round with the gun / And spotlights the snowflakes / Like the dust in the sun / It's Christmas in prison / There'll be music tonight / I'll probably get homesick / I love you, goodnight.”

I want to second Hayes Carll's 'Grateful for Christmas'!

Once you're all depressed from listening to that one, dispell the blues by listening to 'Lovely Christmas' by Jason Ringenberg and Kristi Rose and 'Yes Virginia' by Scott Miller.
