Some Delight for the Christmas Season

             Well as we all know it is Advent season, also known as Christmas season. Lately I've just been going back in forth between Sufjan Steven's old Christmas volumes (Songs For Christmas) and some of Relient K's Let It Snow album. I know--quite the mix, huh? Well as much as I love Relient K, Sufjan just straight up blows all else out of line. He is the perfect mix between pop and indie, yet somehow incorporates his Christmas albums into these categories perfectly. I don't know about you, but I really do not like all of the poppy Christmas music that is played on the radio throughout Advent season. This is why I enjoy Sufjan, and for that matter the Christmas season. Almost all of his tracks are from a Biblical view, and this is why I appreciate him greatly. He can play great music and integrate God in his lyrics; I mean what more could I ask for...? Here's what I've been listening to: 


1. All The King's Horns- Sufjan Stevens
2. I Celebrate The Day- Relient K
3. Sleigh Ride- Relient K
4. Boxing Day- Relient K
5. Come On! Let's Boogey To The Elf Dance!- Sufjan Stevens
6. The Friendly Beasts- Sufjan Stevens
7. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas- Relient K
8. O Come O Come Emmanuel- Sufjan Stevens
9. That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!- Sufjan Stevens
10. What Child is this Anyway?-Sufjan Stevens


What are you listening to?
