31. It depends on the version of White Christmas

It's a mostly secular song with no mention of gawd or jebus.

My current favorite holiday song is this version by the Drifters:

The kicker is that I HATE snow and would much rather be listening to it on the beach.

For the worst song I'd have to pick Little Drummer Boy or that damn dog version of Jingle Bells.
