Memorize these lyrics before next Christmas

We're still feeling a little lazy over here at Shanghaiist headquarters — good thing other bloggers are picking up the slack. John at Sinosplice posted a nice collection of Christmas songs in Chinese.

This album contains secular kids’ classics like “Jingle Bells” as well as religious classics like “What Child is This.” Some songs sound like they are sung by a church choir, while others are more playful. Some of the songs’ sound quality is good, while others’ are abysmally low. The melodies are familiar, but the lyrics are all in Chinese. Oh, yes. You need this to make your Christmas complete.

You can download the album here. And if you work for the RIAA, you might be able to buy similar stuff here if that makes you feel better.

Happy Boxing Day!
