OT: Ohh NOOO, not another music thread (Holiday)

[Bigboote]

What do the following Christmas songs have in common?

My first reaction is that they're all copyrighted, but I thought that was too easy/broad. Based on your followup, it might be what you were looking for, though. Most Holiday songs are in the public domain.

Not a one written by gentiles. And here I thought the Dreidel Song was the best for song Hanukkah. Yeah, I live in NYC. I've sung them all man during Hanukkah, Midnight Mass, Pentecostal Christmas', Jehovah Witness Christmas' (no such thing), Southern Baptist Christmas. You name it.

Wasn't written originally as a Christmas song, but it's kinda become one.

Linus and Lucy - Vince Guaraldi Trio

And of course Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. Done by a flashmob.

Here's one with a Hanukah song that's not the dreidel song. I've seen their Holiday show a few times; they're wonderful.
