I'm Jewish, and I love Christmas carols. Anyone who thinks they are "offensive" is an idiot!

I'm Catholic, and I remember the Jewish kids in my elementary school belting out the Christmas carols with the best of them. We also sung a couple of Channukkah songs thrown into the mix ("'Tis the week of Hannukah good cheer it is bringing. This holiday we celebrate with dancing and singing.")

I am also grateful that the kids around the block, Jacques, did not expose the whole Santa Claus thing to us. We just figured he skipped the Jewish kids.

Good times, and in most ways a better world.

My Jewish friend loves Christmas music. Claims it’s some of the most beautiful music ever written.

There was an old Saturday Night Live skit where everyone is singing Christmas carols, and after the first couple lines the only one who knows the words is the Jewish guy. Hilarious.
