Merry Christmas

This post is dedicated to all who serve in the military and cannot be home for Christmas.

John Lennon was a gifted dreamer who wrote some magnificent lyrics.
To quote John Lennon from the song "Imagine" -
"You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one."


From the Shaved Fish album (1972) by John Lennon/Yoko Ono

Sing along if you remember the words.

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 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
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
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
Another year over
And 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
War is over
If you want it
War is over
