John wrote the song in 1971 and released it in the USA in 1975 on the Shaved Fish album. John's song is a Vietnam protest song, but the melody became loved enough for this tune to become a modern day Christmas classic.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Our household grew to four today with our youngest son Mikhael joining Yvonne Sadie and I. Rain has encircled our western Washington locale. Sadie has already had her Christmas Eve walk, we are looking forward to playing Christmas scrabble, and maybe seeing a movie later. Santa has been here already and left a few presents. We hope you and yours remember the reason for the season this year. A nice little dose of compassion to our fellow man and woman sure goes a long way. Hmm... maybe that compassion and concern should last more than a week! My New Years resolution is being formulated but I know it will include being kind to others.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me through tough times. I owe my current health to science and your prayers, support, and kindness.

Greg and Yvonne and Mikhael,
A Merry Christmas to you all, we are thinking of you today. Sorry I haven't been on here lately,school got over last Friday and it was way too busy. We made it here to Logan yesterday on dry roads, thankfully. Just finished dinner with Dad and Alice. Wish we were all together. We just sent you a package yesterday so it will be arriving late. Great to see your pictures. Hope you continue to get strong.
love,
Mary D. and Alan
