Brooklyn, great picks.
So many wonderful postings and links.
Flashing back to the 50's, we remember singing all the carols in school chorus and playing them in school and youth band.
It didn't matter that our suburban DC school (Langley Park)was 50% Jewish. Everyone got off for Christmas break and 'Happy Holidays' was not even heard of - if we remember right, it came well after 'Have a Nice Day" and even the yellow happy face
, right?
Anyway, Sandler's song is a chuckle and it's always been ok to point a little fun at one's own.
This one came to mind, funny but not a top pick. Tom Lehrer was a genius nonetheless

Whether you knows it or not, your two picks were both written by Jewish songwriters, and amazingly, so were many of the top 25.
This is most interesting:
