So I'm totally down with the holiday season this year. My boyfriend picked me up this splendid CD at Barnes and Nobles when i tragically revealed my dislike for Christmas music. I'm talking about "Sufjan Stevens Presents Songs for Christmas Singalong"!!!! It gave me the ability to enjoy the musical side of Christmas! Although i will point out that Sufjan's original carols are better than his remakes of the Christmas staples, which at times can be ruined with his folky twist. Some songs are better left alone. If you were to listen to one song from this CD to get a good idea of his Christmas-song-writing prowess, check out "Come on! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!". Its really upbeat and his lyrics are bound to make you smile. However, if you are looking for a more "Casimir Pulaski Day"-ish song, check out "That Was the Worst Christmas Ever"...which is a more depressing look at the holiday, because we all have had a shitty Christmas. Well, I've said my piece, So go buy it!!!!!! Did i mention its like 5 CD's for 20 something dollars? yeah, pretty legit.
