COLLAB! Please Don't Wish Me A Merry Christmas
Right now, ccMixter is working on a project with Jamendo called 'Tis the Season. Many of the a cappellas submitted so far are Christmas songs, so I felt compelled to contribute a different point of view. To tell you the truth, I was somewhat nervous about this. I've contributed other songs on the site that expose my atheist perspective, but nothing quite this blatant. To my delight, the song was very well received. Check out these super-kind, supportive reviews. I released the track CC-BY, so ANYONE can remix it, cover it, make a video with it, put it in a play, share it on your website with a free download, anything (even for commercial purposes)- as long as you give me (Mind Map That) credit for writing it. This song features drums by squidfeatures, borja, PorchCat, Platinum Butterfly. Everything else is by MMT. Follow the song title links to download the songs and/or grab the stems. To download the song and donate some dough to MMT- go here. Thanks for listening! Hope you dig!

BONUS! It's already been remixed by The DICE. (And I love it.)

WORDS
Life itself is magical
Without lies about Santa Claus
Gift giving can so fun
Without becoming buying drones
Stories about virgin birth
Stories taken word for word
From books that have been translated
Too many times to count
Are just stories to me, so…
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Please just skip to a Happy New Year (fa-la-la)
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Though I hope yours is filled of love and cheer.
Yes, I am an atheist
And you can call me a scrooge
Cuz I’m a fan of reason
And don’t partake in
Religious celebrations
But I do like to have fun
And I’m up for friendly hugs
Just please respect this one request from me…
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Please just skip to a Happy New Year (fa-la-la)
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Though I hope yours is filled of love and cheer.
I’ll drink down some vegan nog
Without the egg but extra rum
I’ll have a green and red cookie
Because I love eating sweets
A sled ride sounds exciting
And let’s build a snow person
Together we can have some secular fun if you…
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Please just skip to a Happy New Year (fa-la-la)
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Though I hope yours is filled of love and cheer.
To those who don’t believe
To those who are unsure
Please know you’re not alone
No, you aren’t
Just cuz we don’t congregate
Or have our own holiday
Doesn’t mean we can’t have fun
While bein’ true to ourselves.
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Please just skip to a Happy New Year (fa-la-la)
Please don’t wish me a Merry Christmas (ho, ho, ho)
Though I hope yours is filled of love and cheer.
