Jews and Christmas music go together like bartenders and craft cocktails — they produce the vast majority of them, but things get awkward when they consume them in excess in front of the masses.
But as the end of November draws near, it’s hard to escape Christmas music on every radio station.
Some Jews have no shame in giving in to their jolliest impulses and singing the tunes with childlike glee.
Others would rather give up listening to the radio for a solid sixth of the year than to be ensnared by one merry jingle.
So: Should Jews be singing Christmas music? What do you, our dear readers, think?
You be the judge — vote now:

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
