    Improbably enough, the resultant record could last you winterlong. [No. 94, p.58]

    DeLaughter and company ensure that Holidaydream is not your grandparents' Yuletide record, taking a few melodic liberties here and deconstructing there, though the spirit of the songs generally remains intact.

    While the roots of the songs remain familiar, the Polyphonic Spree inject enough psychedelic charm and whimsy into the album that, if you don't think about it too much, just might have you forgetting you're listening to seasonal jingles, and that beats the hell out of "Jingle Bell Rock" any old day of the year.
