{"product_id":"sufjan-stevens-christmas-box-set","title":"Songs for Christmas 5-CD Box Set","description":"In December 2001, Sufjan set out to create a Christmas gift for his friends and family.  The result was a seven-song recording that he called \"Noel Vol. 1\".  Over the next several years, he created new EPs to add to the collection.  This 5-CD box set includes all five volumes, plus a 42-page booklet with an original Christmas essay by acclaimed American novelist Ricky Moody, two essays, a short story by Stevens, a holiday sticker, chord charts, lyrics, comic strip, family portrait poster, photos, and an animated video.  Never one to lack ambition, indie-pop hero Sufjan Stevens takes the tried-and-true holiday album to a new level with this five-disc Christmas box set.  A mix of Stevens originals and Yuletide classics recorded between 2001 and '06, the collection presents the amiable singer\/multi-instrumentalist performing festive self-penned tunes such as the bouncy, piano-driven \"Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!\" and the White Stripes-referencing, ELO-influenced \"Get Behind Me, Santa!\" along with no less than three versions of \"O Come, O Come Emmanuel.\"  While five discs may seem exhausting to some, for those who adore both Christmas and Stevens, this lovingly assembled compilation makes for hours of smart, celebratory fun.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: November 21, 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 656605602820\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772134017,"sku":"Sufjan Stevens (9)","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Sufjan_Stevens_Songs_for_Christmas_5-CD_Box_Set.jpg?v=1763665175","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/sufjan-stevens-christmas-box-set","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
