Lyrics:
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 had fun
The near and the dear ones
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 (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The road is so long (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
The near and the dear ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)
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 (War is over)
And what have we done? (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear ones (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over if you want it
War is over now

Beautiful song, beautiful woman! And fifty years after John released this when the Vietnam War was winding down, we're STILL in wars all over the planet!! I think John would be just as disgusted about this as I am!!

, I agree 100% I've seen wars all my life on TV. The ongoing war in Vietnam in the '60s and '70s I was only a kid back then but saw things on TV that no kid ought to see these days.
No hate mail from me. I'm a 58 year old Beatles freak and I like your version a lot. Happy Xmas to you and yours Anne. ☮🎅🎁🎄
Search a beautiful production. Of a song that has deep meanings in the past and the current.
...and the grumpy clone more or less got in the spirit of things....perfect!
Merry Christmas Anne. God bless us, everyone.
Thank you Anne & a Merry Christmas to you and yours
This remake of a masterpiece from Ms. Reburn is the best Christmas song. This should be played at all platforms including Spotify, etc.. Reburn you’re going to be big famous one day. Merry Christmas Anne and a happy new 2024. 🎄🌲🎅🏻🤶
Wow that is an amazing tour de force! Well done Anne! And Justin and Roy and Niall! And so, so appropriate for both the season and challenges our world currently faces. Wow. Spot on.
Stunning rendition, as usual with Anne & the clones. Layered, festive, full. Even Grumpy not *that* grumpy. But the cinematography. It's *chef kiss*
I'll imagine you would feel awkward if someone said you are a genius...people are saying that... A brilliant and pure shining light.

The first person to call John Lennon a genius was was John Lennon. The only other person he called a genius was ( to my knowledge ) Paul McCartney.
Radost pohledět. Překrásný úměv!!! A joy to behold. Beautiful smile!!!
Wonderful song choice ❤️😀❤️🎄👍😊👏👏👏
Even Grumpy Clone couldn't stay grumpy during that! Thanks for a lovely song Anne!

Really a beautiful rendition of a John Lennon classic. I even loved the chair and the silent video over the credits. Merry Christmas, Anne!

I well remember hearing this song on the radio in December 1968, but6 could never hear the chorus words, never knew it had something to do with a war then raging far away... until just now. Thank you for this Anne!
This is a great production. It's on point. Keep doing more like this.
Thank you, Merry Christmas, to you all.
Ruben Benavides :Love your performance always

Amen....
That was sweet! And with all due respect to John and Yoko, I wish my local radio stations were playing your cover instead of the original. The original sounds to me like someone approached John Lennon and said, "Hey, you and Yoko ought to sing a Christmas carol", so he just came up with it off the top of his head and said, "OK, here's your Christmas carol." It's simple, and it's kitschy/catchy earworm material, but there's nothing particularly interesting about it and it doesn't showcase his talents. Your interpretation has dimensions to it while remaining faithful to the simplicity of the original, sounds like you really cared about it and has an authentic holiday sound. And the video looks truly classy. Brava!

Now that you mention it, yeah I agree with you.
Dear Anne, I discovered your channel today and I am so amazed at your musical creativity, singing skills, expressivity, sense of humour and beauty. I guess it is a huge work to create these multi-layered joyfull videos. Bravo and best wishes for Xmas and new year. Any song you cover becomes my favorite cover of that song👏☀️🔥
I love you Ann Reburn Ann American Superhero, Supermodel, Super bodyguard😀! Very talented! Have a nice day!
Happy holidays, Ms. Reburn, and belated good wishes on your 30th!
Magnifique. Merci pour ce beau moment musical
Loved the arrangement and theperformance. One thing though - I wish the video were in color. Anne is great at coordinating colors in her videos.
Thanks a lot, dear Anne! John`s immortal words are so actual now! ❤ No war! ☮ From Moscow with 🌹
Loved it. You and Robyn are the best with Morgan and Tarja just behind.
Magnifique !

Bless you for sharing this message of peace with a world that needs it so much.
so beautiful, thank You
Thank you Anne! it's beautiful as always! A shame the wars are not over yet.
Happy new year to everybody
Such a beautiful version 🙌🏻
WOW! WOW! WOW! Not surprised at all at how AWESOME this was, Anne! THANK YOU, AGAIN!
Such a lovely song, one deserving of your talents. Thank you for this.
Amazing. Thank you.
I'm in LOVE with the third Girl from the Left !
Happy not yet Xmas. Happy nod to a memory that’s not always full.
That was magnificently lovely! Thank you again.
I just discovered your channel and love your arranging, transcribing and, of course, your beautiful voice. I imagine with all the views you have a large and well deserved income but isn't getting all those matching outfits very expensive!!! Seriously, your work is great. If I still had my sax quartet, I'd be asking you to write a piece for us.
💓 Excelent 💓
Wie immer TOP👍
Wow chills.
Thank you for a wonderful performance to this not so classic Christmas song. I hope you and your family and friends have a very merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous new year.
For some reason, this made me feel sad and nostalgic. It hasn't been a good year for the world. On brighter matters, it must be Appraisal Time for the Clones!

Thank you. Beautifully done!
Happy and relaxed rest of the year and a happy FESTIVAL and a good slide in :)
As always, a wonderful performance.... Very personal(in a very good way!) Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful work, and I certainly hope that you and your friends and family have a happy Christmas, and we all look forward to more music with you in the coming year. XO
Amazing. Nobody should ever forget this song.
Merry Christmas, Anne and mystery husband. I hope this is the first of many in your marriage.
Beautiful music, beautiful performer!! Wonderful!! Directly from Rio de Janeiro with all the affection.❤
Wow, what a great performance! The right song, the right time and the best performer... ¡Felicidades Anne!. How can i click on the "like" button more than once?
Beautiful!!! And great choice to remove the "yellow and red ones" line.
I'm pretty sure, John would have liked this cover 🥰
I would need to watch this quite a number of times if I don't want to miss any of the different you's.
Merci!
Miracle
I have lived through several wars and conflicts, beginning with Vietnam. I so long for peace. Thank you for this. ❤🎉🎉🎉

Really dig your arrangement and the mix. Your voice sounds especially ethereal in this one, both calming and haunting.
Thank you and may your holidays be blessed.
Buon Natale anche a te Anne, una voce deliziosa ❤
So rad. What a talented person you are!
