Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas Eve day. At the risk of seeming trite, I'd like to quote Mr. Lennon. (At the risk of seeming even more trite, I'd like to point out that triteness is sometimes true,)

"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
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
(War is over)
For weak and for strong
(If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones
(War is over)
The world is so wrong
(Now)

And so Happy Christmas
(War is over)
For black and for white
(If you want it)
For yellow and red ones
(War is over)
Let's stop all the fight
(Now)

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

(Repeat chorus)

War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now"

Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
By John Lennon and Yoko Ono
