United We Christmas Tree Strand: wars gratia wartis

With the explosion of the web, amateur and independent songs decorate our Xmas trees, especially from far away.

Mostly these carols are about not being home. That’s the American Way (variously: you can’t make it home, you don’t want to put up with those at home, you don’t have a home).

Josh Logan digs deep country for “A Soldier’s Christmas Day Prayer.” Tough god-fearing hombres, but too much want-to-be-home to make me trust the guys in this song.

Master Sgt. Robt. Allen sings about missing his missus over the Christmas break. He bangs on the guitar filk singing style (endlessly). But he means it.
