John Lennon's Happy Xmas/War is Over is the second song on our list from a former Beatle. Lennon, Yoko Ono, and the Plastic Ono Band recorded the now Christmas classic at Record Plant Studios in New York City in October 1971. The children singing are the Harlem Community Choir.
The song is based on a 1969 billboard campaign by Lennon and Ono who rented billboards and posters in eleven cities around the world that read "WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It) Happy Christmas from John and Yoko". Of course, we were fighting the very unpopular Vietnam war at the time and the government was following Lennon everywhere.
Enjoy your Christmas Eve! Our former employer gave us the day off so Knology made an exception for our small group. Marrazzo was kind enough to take call this morning at 8AM so I hope to rest and recuperate and wait for Santa.
