War is over, If you want it. War is over now...

So this is Christmas...
And what have you done?
Another year over,
A new one's just begun.

And so this is Christmas,
I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young.

A merry, 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 road is so long.

And so happy Christmas,
For black and for white,
For yellow and red ones,
Let's stop all the fight.

A merry, merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one,
Without any fear.

This song sounds exactly like Christmas to me. In primary school we would have a Christmas Concert at the end of each year. At the end of the concert, everyone would line up in rows with youngest at the front, to oldest at the back, swaying side to side, and sing this song.
The girls would continue the chorus while the boys sung "war is over, if you want it, war is over now..."
Then Santa Claus would ride into the school grounds on a fire truck. Yes, a fire truck. We would be at the end of the song and then sirens would be sounding from off in the distance. Everyone would be excited and sing even louder.
Just a childhood memory.
But i miss it.

The last time that happened was 2005.
5 years later, Christmas Eve, and i hear the song on the radio. I haven't heard it before, except when we were singing it on stage.
But now that it IS christmas...
I randomly have that childhood excitement. Not as much as i used to have, but it's still a little bit there.
So that is good :)
But enough about me.
I pray you all have a lovely end to the year. May you be blessed above and beyond any and all of your expectations.
Merry Christmas everyone, and have a truly happy new year.
