It’s actually not a matter of “the songs bothered me because they were wrong.” In fact, if that’s what people got from the paragraph, I should rewrite it.
What bothered me is that there did not exist other songs, just as beautiful, with just as much cultural weight behind them, which I truly believed it.
The christmas carols weren’t the problem, they were just the benchmark I had to compare a non-existent thing to.

Yes, I think you should rewrite. Not that it’s bad the way it is, but it would be better if it had this more positive message.
