Maybe you had yesterday’s Globe and Mail in your hands and already read the Arts section article: “Schmeck the Halls! How Jewish Songwriters Created Christmas”.

Jews wrote half of them: White Christmas, The Christmas Song, Winter Wonderland, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and I’ll Be Home for Christmas”.
