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 ...
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.
