Tis' The Season: Day 18
Today's Topic: Secret Santa
It's one week before Christmas and it's December's official weekend of holiday parties. So I got you a gift. It's ok if you didn't bring one, you can participate in the gift exchange. Christmas is the season of giving and I am more than happy and excited to give you this. What is it? Shake it, shake it....what do you think? NO! That's not even out on DVD yet, plus season two of Desperate Housewives was lame compared to the first one. Still don't know? Ok, here you go...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Last night, while discussing musical super genius and all around awesome artist Sufjan Stevens with a friend, he asked if I'd heard the Sufjan Stevens Christmas albums. "What?? NO!!" Despite getting home from my shift at the theater at 3:30 AM last night, I rushed online to download them and am now happy to pass them along to you - three Christmas album projects of original and traditional songs played by Sufjan Stevens.
If you're familiar with Sufjan, you understand this is ONE OF THE BEST GIFTS I COULD GIVE YOU! And if you're not, click on the link, download all three albums, and prepare to enjoy some of the sweetest, most heartfelt and sincere, most creative music you've heard in a while - Christmas-themed just in time for the holidays. These albums were never released for sale as of yet and have seen distribution through blogs and fans of the multi-instrumentalist leader of the Michigan Militia and the Illinoise Makers, Sufjan Stevens. So if you're worried about stealing music off the internet, no need to fret - you can't buy these anywhere now and they're meant to downloaded and enjoyed. The files are available as .Zip files for each album. There's also a track by track site if you prefer to download one at a time - but honestly, IT'S CHRISTMAS - love yourself and download all three albums in their entirety.
Some of my favorite tracks thus far (a mere 20 hours after downloading the albums) are "It's Christmas! Let's Be Glad!", "We're Goin' To The Country!", "Put The Lights On The Tree!", "Come On! Let's Boogey To The Elf Dance!", and "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!". If you want to hear more of Sufjan's music, head over to his record label site, Asthmatic Kitty, where you can listen to songs and pick up his albums.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the gift, don't let anyone steal it from you in the gift exchange and give you a stupid Starbucks card.

Yeah Marsh, they're legal. they're not out for release yet so as of now they're fair game on blogs, etc. for downloading and enjoyment.

Honestly, these albums revived the joy of Christmas in me. Now I wish it was Christmas again so I can listen to them. I could listen to them now, but I'd feel sad because Christmas is over.
