Play Holiday Dress-Up With Sufjan Stevens!

And other fun things to do instead of studying for finals
Play Holiday Dress-Up With Sufjan Stevens!

Whether you're trying to momentarily forget the current economic climate or the literal wintertime one that's raging outside right now, boy does Asthmatic Kitty have the thing for you!

The lovable label has launched a website full of yuletide diversions, which is in no way whatsoever a cleverly disguised ploy to sell copies of Sufjan Stevens' Songs for Christmas box set (teehee). There's an adorable 8-bit video game based on lyrics from Stevens' songs (challenges include shoveling snow, lighting candles, and yes, calling Grandma), ornament designs you can print out and color, no fewer than two music videos for "Put the Lights on the Tree", a full stream of the box set, and, ah yes, the chance to play dress-up with Sufjan's likeness. Only slightly less creepy than Devendra!

Best of all, you can send your Sufjan masterpieces to your friends, and view others' in the gallery section of the site. Our personal favorite thus far comes from one Brett S. Really captures the spirit of the season, doesn't it?
