Claude says:Sufjan's third Christmas volume caught you right at the holidays in '08, all ornate arrangements and scrambled carol logic—he turns "Ding! Dong!" into something genuinely unsettling, which is the opposite of what Christmas music usually aims for. You cycled through it that season and the next, hitting the weird hymn rewrites and "Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!" with equal curiosity, then moved on, which is probably exactly how Sufjan intended his Christmas experiments to work.
