"Happy Xmas (War Is Over" John Lennon
This song was released thirty years ago as a protest song (Vietnam) and the fact that it is still relevant is kind of sickening. It's a great song, but not all together "Christmas-y" (which is why I won't burden you with it on Christmas day). Whether or not you can sit through the video, John Lennon was a musical genius and it's important to note the everlasting relevance of songs like this. Regardless of the message you get from the song, this is still one of the best Christmas songs of all time.
