The candles are lit
and the sun has gone down
I put on my dress
Mamma said it was time
She's been rushing around
to make us a feast
The church bells are ringing
Incense is burning
dishes have been cleared
We join hands in a circle
We sing around the tree
I peaked underneath
and I think I saw my name
Our joy fills the room
There is something in the air
the sent of Christmas
La la la
It is Christmas

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
