These are interesting facts. Doesn’t change the impact of the songs any of course. Kids really like the songs even if they weren’t originally meant for Christmas like “Let It Snow” This post reminds me of when KISS was in the Christmas episode of Family Guy.

And then I wrote…

“Let’s Put the Mas Back in Christmas”

which became an instant hit in Mexico.

None of these Christmas songs mention Christ or his birth which is what Christmas is about. These songs may be beautiful but they fail to capture the real meaning of the holiday. They should be callled seasonal songs because there is nothing “holy” about these songs. Unfortunately some people do not know the difference because they have been miseducated. , Christmas is not about snow, reindeers, silver bells, and the like. In addition, just because you are born into or practice a particular religion does not make you a believer. I do not understand the significance report nor the coorelation.

Anyone want to explain to me how “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas” is NOT about Christmas???

And for those of you worried about whether or not Christ should be part of Christmas… the holiday we celebrate now originated in Babylon thousands of years before Jesus of Nazareth was born. You decide what (or who) you’re celebrating…

So I guess Albert Hague(Marcuse) could be described as being Jewtheran.

none of these are Christmas songs. They’re holiday songs. They help to de-Christ Christmas.

But, they are lovely, festive tunes that I have enjoyed all my life. :)

Of course, we Jews love Christmas. It’s always been a cool day to see the world from the outside looking in. Like Easter. And you don’t have to go to church! One of the benefits of being a minority.

How about the entire soundtrack from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas? The music was all written by Danny Elfman (also the voice of Jack and numerous other characters) is Jewish.
