"Happy X-Mas" is my favorite Christmas song of all time and although it has been covered by tons of artists, it remains the one I like to play the most.
"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" was released in 1971 as a single by John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir. It was the seventh single release by John Lennon outside his work with the Beatles. The song reached number four in the UK, where its release was delayed until November 1972, and has periodically reemerged on the UK Singles Chart, most notably after Lennon's death in December 1980, when it peaked at number two.
Also a protest song against the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" has since become a Christmas standard, frequently recorded by other artists, appearing on compilation albums of seasonal music, and named in polls as a holiday favourite.
With this year's COVID restrictions for Christmas Holidays, we will not be able to say WAR IS OVER. War again the Omicron variant still prevail...

LYRICS
So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year,
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong,
(War is over if you want it)
For the rich and the poor ones,
The road is so long.
(War is over now)
And so happy Christmas for black and for whites,
(War is over if you want it)
For the yellow and red ones,
Let's stop all the fight.
(War is over now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done?
(War is over if you want it)
Another year over,
A new one just begun.
(War is over if you want it)
And so this is Christmas,
We hope you have fun
(War is over if you want it)
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young
(War is over now)
A very merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year,
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over
If you want it
War is over now
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas!
(War is over if you want it)
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young
(War is over now)
A very merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year,
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over
If you want it
War is over now

I do not own the copyrights for this song and my intention is not to monetize this video. I just wanted to pay tribute to John Lennon and Yoko Ono for this great song about love and peace. I wanted to have my kids discover rock music through their dad’s acoustic versions of various rock songs so here it is!
