Have yourself a merry little Christmas, courtesy of the cast of "Glee!" Sony

As every good Gleek knows, the holiday season is about two things: Awesome music and awkward holiday cards. And, in true "Glee" fashion, the cast of the hit show is offering fans both. Plus, hideous Christmas sweaters. (We didn't think we could love these kids more, but what can we say? We're suckers for ugly sweaters. And the look on Artie's face? Priceless.) Naturally, Coach Sue Sylvester looks like the Grinch who stole glee club in her signature track suit--in black, of course.

The hilariously awkward holiday card, pictured here, is to promote the cast's holiday album "GLEE: The Music, The Christmas Album," which you can preview on MySpace's Glee Music page, according to E! Online. It probably goes without saying, but sweet peppermint reindeer, we cannot wait for this album to come out. And fortunately, we won't have to wait long -- it's available for pre-order now and hits stores Tuesday.

The album features a mix of classics ("O Christmas Tree," "Jingle Bells") and contemporary favorites ("We Need a Little Christmas," "Last Christmas"), as well as the fun, upbeat mash-ups we've come to expect (check out "Deck the Rooftop").

The "Glee" Christmas episode will air on Fox Dec. 7, and we couldn't be more excited to see how they shoot "Baby It's Cold Outside." Which song are you most excited to hear in full and see the cast perform?
