Does anyone know if Sufjan Stevens "Christmas Sing-A-Long" tour, is really just singing along to Christmas music, or is that just part of his gimmicky concert serieses?

Yeah I could really go for a bit more Christmas music. Not some novelty version of Jingle Bells sung by a 5 year old, just, you know, music, that is about Christmas. This is my favorite holiday, and one of my favorite "yeah, this is where I want my life to be right now" moments is throwing on a little Christmas music, lighting a fire, and letting the tree and the fire (and the XBMC visualization) be the only light in the room.

Hell, suggestions? Are there Christmas compilations of indie pop bands that I don't know about?

e: Not. Zooey. Deschanel.

That main female singer that tours with Sufjan Stevens, Rosie Thomas has a pretty good career herself. I liked her cover of that Peanuts classic, Christmastime is here and the whole album is likable.

I use to really love Los Campesinos! but ever so slowly got annoyed to death by the twee-ness in their music.

I know little of the band's background other than "Hold on Now, Youngster" which had its moments. But lead singer just seemed very punchable, like a dbag pretending to be twee cause he read it was a way to score.
