About 82% of Americans in 2007 told Gallup interviewers that they identified with a Christian religion. That includes 51% who said they were Protestant, 5% who were “other Christian,” 23% Roman Catholic, and 3% who named another Christian faith, including 2% Mormon.Because 11% said they had no religious identity at all, and another 2% didn’t answer, these results suggest that well more than 9 out of 10 Americans who identify with a religion are Christian in one way or the other.

1. Christmas Eve Sarajevo Live – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Anyone who has seen The Trans-Siberian Orchestra live in concert know how great this song is let alone the entire experience. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas concert is one of the best shows you can ever go to any time of the year. It is a Christmas tradition for the Red’s.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra – O Come All Ye Faithful Trans-Siberian Orchestra - An Angel Came Down Live Trans-Siberian Orchestra – Christmas Canon Rock
2. Snoopy vs. The Red Baron (Snoopy’s Christmas) – Royal Guardsmen
This is one of my all time favorites as a kid. Many have not heard of The Royal Guardsmen, an obscure music group that formed in Ocala, FL.
3. Frosty the Snowman – Jimmy Durante
4. I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas – Bing Crosby
Not only one of the best Christmas songs of all times, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all times as well.
5. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - Burl Ives
Honestly, anything sung by Burl Ives is a Christmas favorite … Silver Bells, A Holly, Jolly Christmas, Silver and Gold, and on and on and on. In many respects, Burl Ives is Christmas when it comes to music.

Art Conrad Protests Commercialism of Christmas with Crucifix and Santa Claus … “Santa died for your MasterCard”
“Santa died for your MasterCard.”
One way or another Art Conrad has certainly got people’s attention with his protest this year of the commercialism of Christmas. Art Conrad in a protest against the commercialization of Christmas has nailed a Santa Claus to a 15 foot high crucifix in his front yard. Credit cards may actually be the anti-Christ. Conrad’s protest is a slap in the face statement in so many ways that will be discussed both on a secular and religious level.
The Bremerton, Wash., resident is fed up with the commercial aspects of Christmas, and he’s voicing his protest in the form of some unorthodox holiday decorating: Santa on the cross.
Conrad has nailed jolly old St. Nick to a 15-foot crucifix in front of his home.
“Santa has been perverted from who he started out to be,” Conrad said. “Now he’s the person being used by corporations to get us to buy more stuff.” (The Daily News)
