Don't think this has been posted? Apologies if it has.

Norah Jones, Amy Lee, Chely Wright, Rosie O'Donnell and Skylar Grey are among the celebrities joining Cyndi Lauper's holiday-themed concert to benefit gay teens.

Lauper's Home for the Holidays concert at New York City's Beacon Theater on December 4 will benefit her True Colors Fund, which fights discrimination against the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community and helps support Lauper's 30-bed True Colors Residence for homeless gay teens.

“When I first learned that up to 40 percent of all homeless youth in this country identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender I was shocked and saddened,” Lauper said in a statement. “For far too long homeless youth have not received the attention, resources and funding necessary to bring an end to this epidemic. My hope is that through this inspiring evening of music and comedy we can raise awareness and much needed funds to help these young people.”

Also taking part in the musical event are Wanda Sykes, Carson Kressley, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Harvey Fierstein, Deluka, Debbie Harry, Alan Cumming and Clay Aiken.

Lauper released her eleventh studio album, Memphis Blues, last year. Her upcoming single No Place Like Home for the Holidays will also benefit the fund.

there are some non-demoninational winter songs.  Let it Snow for example, or a duet for Baby it's Cold Outside would be cool. Deck the Halls is considered a Christmas tune, but the lyrics actually say Yule which a Pagan holiday so I guess that could be considered.  I surprised she's doing that song because the lyrics are very Christian (I had to look them up because I don't know that song! LoL)

Hmm.. maybe she doesn't mind the lyrics, and just favors the melody?
