Happy Christmas


"Happy Christmas" is a song written and performed by John Lennon in 1971. It was originally released as a single and later included in the album "Imagine". The song carries a strong message of peace and love during the holiday season. Lennon wrote it as a protest song against the Vietnam War, with lyrics that reflect on the current state of the world and hopes for a better future. The melody is characterized by its catchy chorus and piano-driven sound. Notably, the song is also known by its alternative title "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)".
