    Would John Lennon 'Imagine' count?

    Even with the line about' no religion', it is still a message of reflection, an aspect of life that we tend to do at Christmas. Even if the 'Christ' aspect is not nearly as relevant as it used to be.

    It's an atheist Christmas message - if that's not too much of a contradiction.

    Another one for me is Perfect Day, the cover Charity Single by the BBC for Children in Need
    As I recall it came out in November and it always makes me think of Christmas

    Unfortunately that song will always be associated with the film 'Trainspotting' for me. And as nice a version that one is I still jump straight to that story when I hear it.

    Wow! I hadn't seen that version of the song in years. A little pull on the heartstrings seeing Bowie, Lou Reed and Dr John amongst others who have since moved on to the Great Gig in the Sky.

    Talking Heads - This Must be the Place (Naïve Melody) always makes me feel warm and Christmassy. <3

    I love that song! I have it on several Spotify playlists, I don't associate it with Christmas though, it's more Summery to me :)

    Its such a wonderful song. Always makes me feel happy! I don't know why I associate it with Christmas, just always have. This version is more Christmassy though:

    Also fleet foxes white winter hymnal is super Christmassy too.

    Kanye West - Runaway

    From one of my favourite (modern) Christmas movies - The Night Before. If you haven’t seen it and have a dark sense of humour, I’d thoroughly recommend.

    Lyrics are gonna hit hard this Christmas if we are still in lockdown though.
