In honor of Hanukkah here is Adam Sandler’s third version of the Hanukkah song. I remember the first time I heard the original song, and laughing so much. Also Hanukkah is one of the only words that rhymes with Veronica, which made me feel quite special. It has become somewhat of a theme song for the holiday and I love that Adam Sandler had the talent to make it so. Enjoy the latest version, it does not disappoint.

The year end holidays are supposed to be a time of joy and giving. No matter what happens through the year, no matter who you are, Christmas/New Year’s/Hanukkah etc.. always come around and we pause to acknowledge them. John Lennon’s “So This Is Christmas” is not the typical holiday song. Rather it is an observation of what millions of children around the world deal with to this day. Not much has changed since Lennon recorded this song. Yes, perhaps the children are in other third world countries today, but they are still hungry and lacking the basic necessities of life. I think John Lennon would have been dismayed to know that fact. Yet there are those who continue to work for bettering the lives of these children and to them I say thank you. Let us hope that the New Year will truly be one where change will be possible and children will have a chance to live better than they do now. For those suffering this holiday season, you are in my thoughts. For those who have something to share, there are many many ways of helping some of these children make it to another New Year, give to The Red Cross, The Children’s Charities of America, and/or any charity of your choosing.
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) – John Lennon
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 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 very Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear
So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun
And so Happy 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
War is over! If you want it War is over! War is over, Now!
