Sufjan Stevens - Christmas In The Room (original piano version) 

I can't hear this without bursting into tears. I just…yeah. That's as much as I can say without my computer screen going all blurry. :'(

i've been listening to this song daily from my desk at my job in korea, where there are no travel plans, no shopping malls, no candy canes, or santa claus. it's just the two of us this year, Sufjan. thanks.

This song makes me want to fall in love.

Sufjan sounds great singing in full voice!

No travel bags, no shopping malls No candy canes, no Santa Claus For as the day of rest draws near It's just the two of us this year No silver bells or mistletoe We'll kiss and watch our TV show I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you 'Til it's Christmas in the room No traffic jams, no ice and storm Far in the house the fire is warm No Christmas tree, no great parade It's just an ordinary day No parties planned, no place to go It's just the two of us alone And in the house we see a light That comes from what we feel inside I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you 'Til it's Christmas in the room 'Til it's Christmas in the room Oh, I can't see the day when we'll die But I don't care to think of silence For now I hear you laughing The greatest joy is like the sunrise No gifts to give, they're all right here Inside our hearts, the glorious cheer And in the house we seek a light That comes from what we know inside I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you 'Til it's Christmas in the room I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you Like it's Christmas in the room Like it's Christmas in the room

Yup. First time I heard it I was instantly reminded of my great grandparents sitting in their sunroom watching reruns on Christmas Eve...

This is the story of my Christmas this year...first year just the two of us all the way across the country

I knew I had heard this song before his last Christmas album and as a different version. Glad I found it again, thanks for uploading!

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART SUFJAN!!!

It's June and I'm crying. Thanks, Sufjan.

for some reason I picture an old couple that doesn't have kids when I listen to this song, very sweet indeed!

@JRayMalcolm It's in Volume 8, the box set is only volumes 1-5, I'm pretty sure Volume 8 was a free download. Back in 2008, lol.

new favorite song..

WHOA! I was not expecting to like this song but is fucken amazing!

Christmas In The Room= una canción muy melodiosa :) tu sabes, es navidad n.n

Why the hell do I always listen to these songs a a couple months before december :I

Me too!

i like this version better. does anyone know where i can find it?

Its my XMAS Song by Daniel McLeod Pennyland Primary School

i like this version better

Is it just me or did Mumford & Sons use this chorus for White Blank Page?

Which album is this on? I can't remember it being on the Christmas box set.

@raziel972 not really--just feels like it sometimes!

The Room?

@TheAtomicmoose Ahhh.....sorry man, its just you. Definitely not White Blank Page. But I guess I could see how the rhythm might remind you of it a little.....

@bugokrain you must live in the middle of nowhere!
