Favorite Christmas Songs Came From Jews

Last December I wrote “Why Chanukah and Christmas Go Together.”

The triumph of the spiritual over defilers, the centrality of morality over the lures of transitory excuses, appeals to us all.

And quoted Albert Einstein: "There are two ways of looking at the world: Either you see nothing as a miracle or you see everything as a miracle."

This year, as I strolled through the mall, I started thinking about famous Christmas songs. After a little research (here and here), I discovered that most of our favorites came from Jews.

In America, a majority-Christian country, Jews have enjoyed freedoms we’d been denied elsewhere for almost two millenia. Jews have expressed their appreciation, among many other ways, in contributing the following loved Christmas songs:

White Christmas

Christmas Song

We Need A Little Christmas

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree

A Holly Jolly Christmas

The Christmas Waltz

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Silver Bells

I’m Getting Nuttin’ For Christmas

Santa Baby

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Sleigh Ride

I’ll Be Home For Christmas

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays

Do They Know It’s Christmas (Feed The World)

Thank you for sharing.
