what are the 25 days of christmix? find out here.

a couple days ago, we had our first guest blogger and today brings us another. my favorite unhip hipster and vegan extraordinaire (and all-around good guy) don gaines shares with us his favorite christmas song.

This has always been my favorite Christmas song. There’s something about the idea of someone with virtually nothing to give, save their talent, that inspires me. This song can make me weepy at times, overjoyed at others. Conor Oberst and the Bright Eyes boys pull this song off magnificently with some help from Jenny Lewis. I also love that Conor, an outspoken atheist, did an entire Christmas album. It speaks volumes to his character, I believe.

if you have any problems using the audio player above, you can always download the zipped mp3.
