The Lyrics

Yes, this is not technically a true parody. Not intended to be. Yes, this is not necessarily funny. Not intended to be. Yes, all of these winter holiday songs were written or co-written by songwriters with Jewish heritage (full or partial). Documentation below. Intro & Coda sung to original melodies, although a new copyrighted melody written for Chorus & Verse.
Do You Hear What I Hear on this O Holy Night,
where There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays?
It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Singing JEWISH CHRISTMAS CAROLS: White Christmas, Let It Snow!
Run, Rudolph, Run on a Winter Wonderland Sleigh- Ride.
Singing JEWISH CHRISTMAS CAROLS that Santa Baby knows.
And I'll Be Home for Christmas when Silver Bells- chime.

Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer had A Holly Jolly Christmas Song,
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, sticking his nose where it don’t belong.
You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, when Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

CHORUS

Happy Holiday ...

Hard to vote on so I won't. I think this is more valuable as a history lesson than as a parody, plus I dktos.

Not Jewish, but had no idea how many had scored big Christmas hits. Impressive research. Nice interplay of the titles. Would like to hear how you worked the melodies.
