Welcome to a new era of A Very Sufjan Christmas

This isn’t a reboot so much as it is a remaster. A celebration of everything that’s come before with an eye toward the future as we build toward one final monument. 

In short: we’re making a book.

This book will contain all 100 of our write-ups edited, sequenced in album order, and put in one place for your reading convenience. We want to produce this book both digitally and physically; to create something that offers a new way to engage with this project. 

You can read the first “chapter” of the book below, available as a PDF for free download. That file contains write-ups for the first seven songs that make up Sufjan’s first Christmas EP. We’re going to publish two more chapters throughout December, so follow us on Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date with our 2022 holiday drops. 

If you’d like to keep up with our process as we create this book, please join our newsletter below. We’re aiming to have the book completed and ready for publication by next holiday season, but we hope these little tastes will be enough to tide you over for this year. Ultimately, we hope this book will act as a fitting way to celebrate the past four years of this project and all the hard work of our hundred-plus of writers. 

We hope you enjoy re-experiencing these write-ups in this new format. Whether you’re reading these standalone chapters on a flight back home, while you wait for your daily train to work, or while curled up at home with a cozy mug of tea, we are thankful to be a part of your holiday in any way.
