TOP TEN CHRISTMAS SONGS FOR ATHEISTS

The criteria: Songs cannot have any mention of God, Jesus,

angels, saints, or miracles. Not even in Latin.

10. White Christmas

9. Jingle Bells

8. Sleigh Ride

7. Silver Bells

6. We Wish You a Merry Christmas

5. Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

4. Santa Baby

3, Carol of the Bells

2. Winter Wonderland

1. Deck the Halls. It’s totally gorgeous. It’s unrepentantly

cheerful — jolly, one might even say — with just a hint of

that haunting spookiness that makes for the best Christmas

songs. It celebrates all the very best parts of Christmas: singing,

 playing music, decorating, dressing up, telling stories, hanging

around fires, and generally being festive with the people we love…

And it doesn’t mention God, or Jesus, or angels, or virgin births,

or magical talking animals, or redemption of guilt through blood sacrifice,

or any supernatural anything. Not even once. Heck, it doesn’t even

mention Christmas.
