Yeah, like the first noel,  o come all ye faithful. I remember the  
words to all of these from public elementary school days.

It was long before Hanukkah was celebrated. The one Jewish child  
whose name i can remember was Sonia Lofski, whose parents had  
recently  fled Hitler's Europe. This would probably have been the  
case with all the Jewish kids at my school. Don't remember if they  
sang along with the rest of us.
