Yes, Christmas is coming ..and as an early gift to the Atheists. An Atheist Christmas Carol
"I Believe in Father Christmas"
-- Emerson, Lake and Palmer (Greg Lake/Peter Sinfield)
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth.
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and the distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
Eyes full a tinsel and fire.
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
They told me a fairy story
Till I believed in the Israelite.
And I believed in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Than I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him through his disguise.
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain, and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.
They said there'd be snow at Christmas
They said there'd be peace on earth.
Hallelujah, Noel, Be it heaven or hell,
The Christmas we get we deserve.

They are played around Christmas time? lol
I know some Christmas songs these days are really stupid. Some are about climbing up a chimney and other is about santa and other is about mommy kissing santa claus! Nothin to do with the real reason of Christmas! people have turned it in to so many things. I'm suprised they haven't gotten rid of this holiday.. the way things are going. I guess I should be happy of what is left.

They're secular and I think Bing Crosby has recorded all of them.
Edit--My only other guess could be they were either all written by the same person, but I know that's not right. The only other thing I can think of is they were all released the same year. However, I'm not sure what year--I'd guess 1942.

Ok, I give up. My first thought was the word Christmas, then t snow, but you said they're all wrong so do tell what do these songs have in common. I've sang it all and I cant guess. :-)

snow or cold weather. white christmas (snow) rudolph (reindeers live where it is cold) let it snow (snow lol) silver bells (snow b/c...snow reflects everything and it would look really bight and silver in the white snow) and the xmas song... (probably cold weather b/c its always cold on christmas ((most places)) and it if wasn't...it just wouldn't feel like christmas, in my mind)

They're all on Perry Como's Christmas Album?
You can't be so desperate for attention that you need strangers to e-mail you for the answer to this. Poor, pathetic little creature.

They are non-Christian Christmas songs. They uplift the the day or the seasonal symbols, but, have nothing to do with the birth of CHRIST.
That is what they have in common.
GOD bless

They are about Christmas!
Or is it Snow?
Or did Frank Sinatra sing all of these on a holiday album?

Well none of them mention Christ, which Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birthday. But what I would like to know is do atheist even celebrate Christmas? because then they would be celebrating someones birthday that they say doesn't even exist. and if you do please tell me how that fits with your non believe? Oh and my real guess would be that they all have to do with SLEIGHS.
