Iconic Christmas Songs
 
Many Iconic Christmas Songs Were Written By Jewish People.

Check out pretty much any list of the most iconic Christmas songs and about half of them were written by Jewish people. Johnny Marks may be the most prolific, he wrote "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and "A Holly Jolly Christmas." In addition to the songs listed above, you can also credit Jewish songwriters with "Silver Bells," "White Christmas," "Let It Snow," "Santa Baby," "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" and plenty more.

So how do you explain this religious contradiction? According to Emmy Winner Michael Feinstein, "The Christmas songs that are popular are not about Jesus, but they're about sleigh bells and Santa and the trappings of Christmas." In other words, Christmas songs are really just about winter and family and being "Home for the Holidays." (Also written by a Jewish person).

The whole Christian church was principally Jewish for a long time (centuries). And the entire New Testament was written by Jews. Christianity is a Jewish religion.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all Abrahamic spinoffs.
