Musical Advent Calendar: Day Fourteen

[carolinecrane]

It is really cold outside today! Feels like winter. Finally.

So Sufjan Stevens put out a Christmas album this year. It is, predictably, kind of weird, but in among the weirdness and one minute track samples, he managed to sneak in a few gorgeous renditions of some traditional hymns from my childhood. I offer you two of them here, along with one of his charming-yet-quirky original songs. About lumberjacks, sort of. Weirdo.
