Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis is a song by Tom Waits from his album Blue Valentine. The song is written from the perspective of the hooker, who is writing a letter to a man named Charlie. Throughout the song the hooker tells Charlie about whats been going on in her life. Becoming pregnant, meeting someone who will talk care of her, moving back home, and in the end that it was all a lie. She's in jail and needs money for a lawyer. What I really enjoy about this song (apart from Tom Waits' voice) is the building of the story that the hooker tells Charlie. How her life went from bad to good, and finally admitting it never got good. She ended up in jail, she didn't meet anyone and all she wants from him is money.
