    Just heard it on the radio. It's silly and goofy but basically good natured. Lennon's Christmas tune is too downbeat.

    "Happy Xmas" by Lennon is a classic. Your ass is too downbeat.

    Leave my ass alone.

    Is Stewball by Peter, Paul and Mary also a classic? It's got the same melody and much better harmony.

    Why did they subtitle it 'War Is Over'? Which war were they talking about?

    Gratified that I have yet to hear Snoopy's Christmas this year, yet.

    The British group the Hollies released a heavily-adorned version of "Stewball" in 1969. This is likely Lennon's source for "Merry Xmas."
