John & Yoko, ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ (‘Billboard’ magazine, December 25, 1971)

“Happy Xmas (war is over), Love, John & Yoko.”

That would be John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but you knew that already. “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” didn’t stir up much chart success in the US after its original December ’71 release. The song fared better in the UK, hitting #4 the following Xmas in 1972.

Daily 70s Ad #347: John & Yoko, ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ originally appeared in the December 25, 1971 issue of Billboard magazine.
