    Secular Holiday Music

    Top 100 Holiday Secular Xmas Songs

    Holiday music is generally that end of the year, winter solstice, snowy city sidewalk music that makes very little reference to the actual, original meaning of Christmas, and only the most subtle nods to the Birthday Boy. There is singing about the weather, the countdown to Christmas, of holiday bells, silver and gold, even Santa and his team. These songs contain all of the magic of Christmas without any of that religious connotation.

    This guy goes into a restaurant for a Christmas breakfast while in his hometown for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, “I’ll just have the eggs Benedict.” His order comes a while later and it’s served on a big, shiny hubcap.

    He asks the waiter, “What’s with the hubcap?” The waiter sings, “O, there’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!”
