And so this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, a new one just begun. And so happy Christmas, I hope you have fun the near and the dear ones, 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, the rich and the poor ones, the road is so long. And so happy Christmas, for black and for white, for yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fights. War is over if you want it, war is over now; war is over if you want it, war is over now... ... 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 now! (John Lennon, "Happy Christmas")
