So this is Christmas

Happy Christmas (War is Over) covered by Vanessa Carlton

So, this is Christmas

And what have you done?

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

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

For rich and the poor ones

The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

War is over over

If you want it

War is over

Now

I mentioned earlier that Coldplay's Christmas Lights and Michael Bublé's Holly Jolly Christmas are my favourite Christmas songs but I have a new one to add to the list. It's not exactly new (John Lennon was the original singer) but I do adore Vanessa Carlton's version. This cover just made me love her even more.

I can't believe 2011 is going to be over in two days. 2011 was a glorious year. I'm almost sorry to bid it goodbye but hey, let's hope that 2012 is going to be a good one. And here's to believing that we'll be surviving 2012 (contrary to popular belief).

Two more days before 2012 kicks in. Gotten your new year resolutions yet?
