Her interpretation of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, no matter how sultry it gets, rises and falls on the brittle truth in the song: Next year our troubles will be miles away, but we can hardly think about anything else tonight.

The Raveonettes released Wishing You A Rave Christmas this time last year. I heard Come On Santa last year along with their The Christmas Song, but the one that’s really got me is the Phil Spector classic Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), also done by Death Cab for Cutie.

Low’s Christmas album turns 10 years old this year. Like all things Low, it drowns in slow sadness here and there, but Just Like Christmas is a fantastic track — a jingle bell Scandinavian road movie that clips along on big drums and seasonal warmth with just a hint of melancholy.
