That Christmas tree is perfectly mid-Western. So true that school was a favorite place for kids with dysfunctional families. Such a touching song in many ways.
I want to get married at Christmas time, so I can have a folk band play this song at my reception, and have couples waltzing to it. Wouldn't that rock.
John, this is so amazing and wonderful. Really really well done. This song has always been a Christmas favorite of mine and now this video just solidifies it. Sufjan should use it as the official video.
My church (Spirit Garage in Mpls!) did this song at our Christmas concert last night; I felt like the repeated melody at end was "in my soul" somehow; peaceful; I could hum it for ever so long. Thanks, Sufjan.
My favorite song of the moment done up beautifully, brilliantly, creatively... and just... overwhelming and heart felt. Brings tears to my eyes quite frankly. I tip my hat to you & your talent. I love this :) Thank you!
This is amazing. My favourite Sufjan Christmas song and your video work is simply stunning... brought a tear to my eye! Thank you for sharing this. And Merry Christmas!
this is beautiful. How did you do all this? what did you use to make the paper cutout effect? looks so 3d. great job with the snowfall layers. it worked really well. The fire thing was was really cool too
Love me some Sufjan and love what you did with this video! How did you make it? What program are you using? I'd LOVE to see a making of. My students would also love to know how it's done.

I already loved this song, but the diorama video is amazing. Beautifully done!
Gosh, what a lovely melody
My sister came over to make lunch. Because my Mum was running some errands and played a bunch if Christmas songs. This one was my favorite.
Its icredible how Sufjan can create those beautuful melodies with an acoustic guitar and a banjo
That was amazing. Really beautiful. It should be the official video for this song.
