Willie Nelson s inspiring Christmas fable, based on his holiday
classic Pretty Paper. More than fifty years ago, Willie Nelson s
beloved Christmas song Pretty Paper first hit the airwaves. And for
all these years, Willie has wondered about the real-life Texas
street vendor, selling wrappings and ribbons, who inspired his
song. Who was this poor soul? What did his painful trials say about
our loves, our hopes, our dreams in this holiday season and in the
rest of our lives? It s the early sixties and Willie Nelson is down
and out, barely eking out a living as a singer-songwriter. The week
before Christmas, he spots a legless man on a cart, selling wares
in front of Leonard s Department Store in Fort Worth, Texas. The
humble figure, by the name of Vernon Clay, piques Willie s
curiosity, but Vernon is stubbornly private and despite Willie s
charming queries has no interest in telling his story. Willie is
tenacious, though, and he eventually learns that Vernon is a fellow
musician, a fine guitarist and singer. When Vernon disappears, he
leaves behind only a diary, which tells an epic tale of
life-altering tragedies, broken hearts, and crooked record men, not
to mention backroad honky-tonks, down-home cooking, and country
songwriting genius. Deeply moved and spurred on by Vernon s pages,
Willie aims to give the man one last shot at redemption and a
chance to embody the holiday spirit."
