Why are so many Christmas songs written by Jewish people?
<|assistant|>
Jewish songwriters have contributed an impressive number of beloved holiday tunes to popular culture due to their rich cultural tradition of music making. Many Jewish artists from the last century have had a profound impact on Christmas music, from Irving Berlin’s iconic holiday standard "White Christmas" to Mel Tormé’s "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)" to the Andrews Sisters’ classic rendition of "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Jewish musicians have also created original holiday songs that capture the spirit of Christmas and have become Christmas staples, such as "Holly Jolly Christmas" by composer Johnny Marks and Leonard Bernstein’s festive "Winter Symphony". Many Jewish composers draw on their rich musical traditions and the joy of Christmas celebrations as inspiration to create music that continues to enrich our Christmas experience.
