You’d think if someone’s going to write a whole article about a song, they’d get the name of it right.
It’s Happy Xmas (War Is Over).
This Lennon ‘Christmas’ song is a bit of a downer for the spirit of the season. More of a gloomy than a happy song. At the end its totally ruined with its ‘war is over’ lyrics.
The only other song on the radio that infuriates me as much is "Imagine". This slimeball was trying to sell us the communist manifesto as music. It is a "Che" t-shirt thrown at us in the key of G.
Temptation is not nipping at his heels...it is snarling and raging at his heels.
Non Christians do not know evil as do Christians.
Just because you were numbered among the evil does not give you knowledge of evil.
That experience actually blinds you to evil.
I have read a few of your missives and am always amazed at your hubris and lack of humility.
As a monk of the tertiary but protestant order...I think you are a novice.
Even some of the usual Christmas songs are not Scripturally correct. Just compare them with the Gospels especially Matthew and Luke.
I don't doubt that you are well intentioned...but you appear to be too ill equipped for this battle.
You may love the Lord, but you are still ignorant. We are all ignorant as to His ways...but you post as though you are not ignorant.
Whatever gets you through the night...
Just about the sorriest song written.
This version has much more powerful images than the other link I posted:

Too much bitterness and anger! Not the way a Christian should think.
For many years I had no idea that was Yoko singing in the background. I thought it was Paul with a hernia!
I sang “Imagine” for many years before understanding it’s a communist song.
John LENNON was aptly named.
I never really listened to the words.
I try to tune it out when they play it on the PA at Home Depot, especially YOkos vocals.
They played Rudolf too, it was Berl Ives I believe.
Is that the name? I like that silly song.
My favorite is Holy Night by anyone who does it.
I suppose it’s not biblical either.
Christmas is not even biblical except that we hold the gospel of the birth in very high regard and giving presents is fun.
I love Christmas when we can back off and relax about the expectations and just reflect on Gods glory.
We are broken but it’s ok because he gave us a way.
Jesus.
Give me Jethro Tull’s- “A Christmas Song” any day.
Sorry no linkee...

If that doesn't bring the video up, go to YouTube and look up Amazing Graze by Peter Hollens
Virtue signaling - decades before virtue-signaling became a thing.
Don't fall into the trap of preaching about all the evil instead of praising Christ for being the One who can deliver us all from the Evil One.
Merry Christmas.....He is born!
