Why are so many Christmas songs written by Jewish people?
<|assistant|>
Many Christmas songs are composed by Jewish writers because they represent universal themes of kindness, family, and generosity and thus have a timeless appeal. Many of the early Christmas carols, such as “The First Noel,” have a distinct Jewish sound and were written by Jewish composers, such as Myer Lyon, who emigrated from England to America with a collection of Yiddish carols.
