That's nice!
Bob Dylan has Jewish heritage as well, although I don't recall him writing any Christmas songs.
I don't think he wrote any .. but he did release an entire album of classic christmas songs ..
Christmas in the Heart (2009) - 34th Studio album by Bob Dylan
Didn't he go through a phase in the 80s in which he was super into Christianity?
Yup, he embraced Christianity, that's why I wrote "heritage".

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was written by a great Jewish man, how cool is that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._May
Rudolph has an odd nose, and he gets chosen to lead all the other Reindeer! Kids love this song. You teach it to them when they are young and they'll never forget it!
I’m sure this is just a coincidence than but Rudolph sounds a like Adolf, or in today’s concept Russian Adolf. And word red doesn’t help, as red was favorite SSSR color. 0_o

They're just Germanic names
That second sentence was absolutely not what the first sentence led me to believe what was coming!

Just say the name of the great jazz artist Mel Tormé...
"I saw a spiral pad... Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."

Indeed, nearly all popular christmas songs today have no mention of christ.
We also contributed the protagonist.

We all know that the protagonist of Christmas in 2024 are Santa Claus and the gifts. It has been massively secularized.
Jews wrote all the classic Christmas hits including:
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
- Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
- The New Testament
Many catchy classic Christmas songs were written by Jewish songwriters.
