Alternative Christmas Listening

We're spending alot of time rethinking the way we celebrate Christmas. I stumbled across this quote from a musician, Sufjan Stephens, who is rethinking the way we sing at Christmas. You can hear some samples of his music below. Here's what he has to say about it:

"It's a sacred form and yet it's also incredibly annoying and profane because it's the soundtrack in shopping malls across the country. I'm interested in reconciling this phenomenal event -- the incarnation of God -- with Santa Claus and blue-light specials at Kmart and the weird preoccupation we have with buying a lot of junk and giving it to each other."

-- Recording Artist Sufjan Stevens in the magazine, Rolling Stone, on his new album, "Hark! Songs for Christmas"
