Ah taking the charity money from little crippled blind Timmy again, this is better then a crucified Santa. You people should give money to the Multi-Sensory Project if you're not buying the album... It is Christmas after all.

the reason why Happy X-Mas (War Is Over) is so good is because it was written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono (1971-1972). When they first released the song, it bombed, but shortly after John's death, it resurfaced and became a big hit and a traditional X-Mas song.

i agree, damien's version is nice but it's traditional for me every xmas eve to play john and yoko's happy christmas (war is over)... most people don't tend to like yoko's voice but i just bust into a big grin everytime she sings "have a very merry christmas..." it just sounds so joyful and happy how she sings it and her accent is cute. i like john and yoko's version best, it's one of my all time favorite xmas songs. plus damien doesn't sing the 'war is over' part and i miss that in the song.. and the kids shouting "happy christmas! happy christmas!" at the end..

yeah i kind of miss that too.

Little Timmy gets enough money during the holidays as it is. I give my fair share, likely more so. So oh well, i think.

Damn internet. Corrupting little timmy and his christmas album!
