Favorite Friday: Christmas Songs!

It's time to start celebrating, people.

I'm already loving Sufjan Stevens' Songs for Christmas, and I've only been listening to it for about two days. All five discs are streaming here, or if you want a track to keep, you can listen to this one:
Sufjan Stevens - That Was the Worst Christmas Ever!.mp3

Here are some fun indie Christmas songs/covers:
Feist - Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming.mp3
Rilo Kiley - Christmas Cake.mp3 (It's a little depressing, but I like Rilo Kiley)
Hem - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.mp3 (My most favorite Christmas song)

These, plus a lot more, are over at The Late Greats, so if you like out-of-the-ordinary Christmas music, you're so in luck.

Also, on Halloween Stereogum had a Christmas music buyer's guide that wouldn't be a bad idea to use now.

Finally (is it even worth mentioning? Probably just for a laugh): Billy Idol is releasing a Christmas album, if you're into that sort of thing.
