| I'm having a holiday party on Friday, and I'm looking for any Yule music. Any suggestions? | |

| Both "Deck the Halls" and "Joy to the World" (well the first verse, the one everyone knows) are Pagan-y without being suspect. "Walking in a Winter Wonderland," "Jingle Bells," "Sleigh Ride," "Let it Snow," and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" are all non-specific and familiar. "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles is my "default" Yule song, and Stevie Nicks' version of "Silent Night" has some of the more glaring Christian references removed (for example, she ends every verse with "sleep in heavenly peace" instead of, say, "Christ the Savior is born"). Dar Williams' "The Christians and the Pagans" is also wonderful.
