At some point, I should probably consider consolidating these posts, but they’re just too much fun to title!

Anyhoo, in order to help counteract the soul-darkening madness of the post-Christmas mall madness, Asthmatic Kitty has some fun Christmas freebies, including ringtones, a Christmas video game (dialing Grandma’s number in 8-bit land is surprisingly difficult) and a couple of free Christmas tracks from Sufjan Stevens.

Better late than never, no?  As the title of last year’s The Great Sufjan Song Xmas Xchange winner suggests, Everyday is Christmas.

With more BPM (that’s Blips Per Minute) than your last Galaga marathon, the 8-Bit Jesus Christmas album by Doctor Octoroc is sure to nerdify your holiday, for free!

Songs like Super Jingle Bros., Ryu the Red Nosed Ninja and The Legend of Noel combine old school NES nostalgia with good ol’ fashioned holiday nostalgia.  Toss in an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two Hundred Shot Range Model Air Rifle and you’re good to go.
