The D Man loves Christmas. And there may not be a better Christmas album than Sufjan Stevens's collection of traditional and original songs. Recorded at home and sent to his friends over the years, Stevens generously decided to share his songs with us, expressing his genuine love of Christmas, its magic, and its ultimate Source. Never has the banjo done more justice to the birth of the King.
There is something for everyone. Excited holiday ditties like the one below. Traditional Christian hymns. Medieval folk songs. (Enjoy the adorable homemade video). And perhaps the saddest song about Christmas you have ever heard.

I look forward to Christmas every year as an excuse to break out this box set. For my money, "Sister Winter" is the greatest Christmas song of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGJNCqebUHQ&feature=related
A great box set, no doubt. As for "Sister Winter," you are not going to get much resistance from The D Man.
