Faith is salted and peppered through everything at Christmas. And I love at least one night by the Christmas tree to sing and feel the quiet holiness of that time that's set apart to celebrate love, friendship, and God's gift of the Christ child.

I absolutely adore Christmas.

I really like the European carols, and I like that captivating sound that they have that isn't usually in Christmas songs.

A Christmas Carol is such a fool-proof story you can't louse it up.

The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.

There are a lot of Grinches out there that would like nothing better than to take any references to religion out of the holiday season.

I read the Scriptures at the American Cathedral on Christmas and Easter; that's it. It's a task I love.

I think that there are a lot of really beautiful Christmas carols, and then sometimes there are horrible renditions of them that are played to death in malls that make me sad. I try to avoid stores where they're playing bad versions of Christmas songs on repeat.

One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.

Atheists well understand that Christmas is the most visible display of religion in the world, and that any diminishment of it is a good thing to militant secularists.
