"Light Of The World"
The world waits for a miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, Oh come Emmanuel
The child prays for peace on earth
And she's calling out from a sea of hurt
Oh come, Oh come Emmanuel
And can you hear
The angels singing
Glory to the light of the world
Glory the light of the world is here
The drought breaks
With the tears of a mother
A babies cry is the sound
Of love come down
Come down, Emmanuel
He is the song for the suffering
He is messiah
The Prince of Peace has come
He has come, Emmanuel
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
For all who wait
For all who hunger
For all who've prayed
For all who wander
Behold your King
Behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Behold your King
Behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
The world waits for a miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
O come, O come Emmanuel

I remember when people were outraged with Starbucks taking Christmas decorations off their cups.
Atheists have made attempts at Christmas, trying to secularize it, but then again Christians don't make it too difficult for them
Apart from Christmas being a disctinctly 'unchristian' holy day that was adopted by the Catholic Church inline with Catholic/Vatican policy in the middle ages for gaining converts from the pagan germanic peoples in Northern and Western Europe, it is largely a secular celebration now and has been since the reemergence of its popularity in the middle to late 1800s.
Edward Bernays the modern father of consumerism had his work heavily lent from from corporations like Coca Cola who were keen on commercialising and capitalising financially on the xmas celebration. A celebration that incidently in early American history was banned by the Puritans and likewise was also banned for brief periods in France and England because of disputes over its pagan origins. Thanks to propoganda from Coca Cola that was inspired by Bernays who was an expert in consumerisation propoganda the 'modern' celebration of xmas with the 'bearded fat man in his red outfit' was born, along with all the other commercial trappings that encouraged consumer spending and most of all a disregard for the 'religous' element of the celebration that claims to celeberate the birth of Jesus who was postively not born on December the 25th.
The reality is xmas is now an emotional commitment by many to ignorance encouraged largely in part by the rapacious global and capitalist machinery that encourages rampant consumerism and consumption.
The religious element of the celebration frankly speaking is irrelavent now as the majority that celebrate the occasion arent religious. For those that are they're equally oblivious to the origins of this pagan holiday.

Steven Curtis Chapman - "Our God is With Us" [Emmanuel]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOnkt2WfhqU&list=PLXWL2vaprCP7QawSN3LBoQlO4z1JVEjbo&index=1
Our God is With Us
One of us is crying
As our hopes and dreams
Are led away in chains
And we're left all alone
And one of us is dying
As are love
Is slowly lowered in the grave
Oh, and we're left on our own
But for all of us who journey
Through the dark abyss of loneliness
There comes a great announcement
"We are never alone"
For the One who made each heart that breaks
The Giver of each breath we take
Has come to earth
And given hope its birth
And our God is with us, Emmanuel
And He's come to save us, Emmanuel
And we will never face life alone
Now that God has made Himself known
As Father and Friend, with us through the end
Emmanuel
He spoke with prophets' voices
And He showed Himself in a cloud of fire
But no one had seen His face
Until the One most holy
Revealed to us His perfect heart's desire
And left His rightful place
And in one glorious moment
All eternity was shaken
As God broke through the darkness
That had kept us apart
And with love that conquers loneliness
And hope that fills all emptiness
He came to earth to show our worth
So rejoice, oh, rejoice
Emmanuel has come

Danny Gokey - Oh Holy Night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTgf__Yog7I
"O, Holy Night"
Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother.
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord!
Oh praise His name forever
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine

like marbles on glass
"“I’m a good Christian. If I become president, we’re gonna be saying ‘merry Christmas’ at every store,” Trump said in Iowa last year.
“You can leave ‘happy holidays’ at the corner.”

Because it has "Christ" in it, that makes it "Christian" and people of other religions consider it biased/offensive. Surely, you can guess who it offends
