3.5 great | ChairMaker | November 30th 06 | An almost bigger-than-necessary collection of the classic christmas tunes you either love or hate, plus some sweet originals by Stevens himself. It's pretty much everything you expect it to be (which isn't a bad thing if you're talking Sufjan) and at about twenty bucks it's probably the best christmas album(s) you're going to ever own. Give it a listen on the Asthmatic Kitty website.

4.0 excellent | angrytortilla | June 3rd 19 | There's so much Christmas music. Like SO much. "Come On, Let's Boogey To The Elf Dance" is my favorite beginning-of-the-Christmas-season" jam.

5.0 classic | Jacob Clark | December 1st 15 | It may just be my massive bias towards Sufjan and my other massive bias towards Christmas music coming together, but this album is one of the best I've ever listened to. It pretty much takes the style of Illinois and puts it to Christmas music. Considering that Illinois is one of my favorite albums of all time, that's just fine in my book. The only slight knock I have against it is its absurd length, as listening in one sitting is quite impractical. However, it is still stellar enough to warrant a perfect score from me.

4.0 excellent | TRMshadow | April 12th 12 | Probably one of the only "Christmas Albums" I will honestly sit down and listen to. Not every song is a hit,
but more than enough of them have that sweet nostalgic hint that partially comes from Sufjan (the sweetness) and partially from the fact that the songs are part of the public domain (the nostalgia). 3.8/5
Also, for those who can't take the entire collection in one sitting, split it up into 5 EPs. It makes it much more digestible and therefore much more enjoyable.

4.5 superb | Donkey | November 18th 07 | This is unique. Have you ever heard of a Indie musician doing Christmas songs? How about Christian songs? Brilliant!
