Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

This is “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” a song by John Lennon and Yoko Ono released in 1971.

It was created as an anti-war song and isn’t a Christmas song meant for children.

Still, it’s a peace-affirming track I hope every child will hear at least once.

Listening to it makes you realize, almost painfully, how fortunate it is to be able to wait for Christmas presents without any fear.
