What’s Christmas time without a 5-disc box set of seasonal inspired tunes by everyones hero of indie rock Mr. Sufjan Stevens. Yes that’s right, this holiday season, instead of your mom’s Barry Manilow collection rocking the speakers at your family functions, you can bust out some Sufjan and drink your sorrows away to hipster approved tunes for once, 42 tracks to be exact. Damn son, kids gone crazy.

Well after you wade through all the music, stickers, books, pictures and other goodies that come with this mammoth set you’ll get to a little music video that was put together by famed animator Tom Eaton (no relation to Mark Eaton). The video itself is a fun animated adventure featuring Sufjan and many of his friends dressed in appropriate relational garb; winged, from his recent touring or the cheerleader outfits of the Illinois days. Anyway just watch the video and see what else you can spot, there is plenty tom-foolery going on left and right so be aware and enjoy. Merry Christmas.

    I think Sufjan must have a music tree that is always in bloom. It’s the only thing I can come up with to explain the excessive amounts of music that he spits out. Thank god for water, sunlight, and photosynthesis! oh, and of course, Mr. Stevens!
