Danny Says:
This is all great. I especially love the Sufjan Stevens one. Who knew an indie kid would put so much effort into a Christmas carol these days? I don’t have access to it (otherwise I’d post it somewhere), but if you can get your hands on Low’s Christmas song (”Just Like Christmas” is the name I think…), that one is great too. Thanks so much for posting these!

Yeah, got that one. Actually, Low did a whole Christmas EP in 1999. While “Just Like Christmas” is fine, I like “Long Way Around the Sea” even better.
