This seems like the kind of thing that’s worth a re-watch every December . . .

Cody Johnson’s “very broke” holiday story is trending again after CMT reposted it.  He told it on his special last year, “CMT Presents:  A Cody Johnson Christmas”.

Back before he was famous, he and his wife Brandi were hurting for money.  And he accidentally gave their last $20 away by putting it in a Christmas card.

They were driving home from a party, and they both cried when “If We Make It Through December” by Merle Haggard came on the radio.  But then they discovered that sometimes things have a way of working themselves out.

He ended up getting his first two songwriting checks in the mail that very same night.
