"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is a 1971 Christmas song released as a single by the Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir. It was the seventh single issued by John Lennon outside his work with the Beatles. The song reached number four in the United Kingdom, where its release was delayed until November 1972, and has periodically returned to the UK Singles Chart, most notably after Lennon's murder in December 1980, when it peaked at number two.A protest song opposing United States involvement in the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" later became a Christmas standard. It has been recorded by many artists, included on seasonal compilation albums, and cited in polls as a popular holiday song. In a UK-wide poll in December 2012, it was ranked tenth on the ITV television special ''The Nation's Favourite Christmas Song''. Provided by Wikipedia
