[...] This song always gets me, gives me goosebumps every time. Definitely one of my favorite Waits songs, I like the studio version (with the great organ) better than the live one with “Silent Night” that’s floating around, but it’s a brilliantly sad and beautiful song, no matter what version. And don’t forget to head over to Aquarium Drunkard to pick up Neko Case’s fantastic cover. Consider it a bonus. [...]

Amusingly, there’s a campaign to get this to No. 1 in Ireland for Christmas. So stop sharing it!

Lets do a little analogy, S.A.T. style.

Waits’ “A Christmas Card” is to Christmas as Arlo’s “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” is to Thanksgiving.

It’s truly an amazing piece. A new Christmas tradition around these parts.
