"Just Like Christmas," Craig Finn & Esme Patterson (A.V. Club)

Craig's from the Hold Steady, lately on his own, and Esmé is a solo performer, and they got together for The Onion's A.V. Club to perform Low's 1999 classic tune. They put a little more rhythm into their version, and that's a good thing. There will probably be more of these, as The Onion typically gets about four of these in before Christmas every year. Oh, and Esmé has a holiday song of her own in 2015, which we'll get to eventually. UPDATE: Laura Stevenson covers Elliot Smith in the latest installment.
