"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is a Christmas song released in 1971 by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with the Harlem Community Choir. The lyrics are set to the traditional English ballad "Skewball".
It was the culmination of more than two years of peace activism undertaken by John Lennon and Yoko Ono that began with the bed-ins they convened in March and May 1969, the first of which took place during their honeymoon. Also a protest song against the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" has since become a Xmas standard, frequently covered by other artists, appearing on compilation albums of seasonal music, and named in polls as a holiday favourite.
Ad now it will be our performance in the next school Xmas concert to be held in our school concert hall next Friday.
