I know it's a little late, but the mailman don't come on the 25th, so...
Tom Waits, "CHRISTMAS CARD FROM A HOOKER IN MINNEAPOLIS."
Don't let the title fool you - it's not a shitty morning radio skit. It's something much, much, more worth listening, and a lot more tragicomic than the title lets on.
BTW, just got Rain Dogs for Christmas. Fantastic record. Tom Waits is probably the only artist who defied the synth-and-snot-ridden sound of the 1980s without compromising his earthy, dirt-vaudeville craft.
