I can't believe how professional you guys are. I never knew Erie had such talent

[douglasmorris]

Audra vocals with the Audra choir make this a joy to hear

It is rare for me to be apprehensive of a F211 cover, but this was one of those times. "Happy Xmas" is probably my family's favorite Christmas song--and definitely our favorite *secular* one--and I was just so unsure of how it would sound with an F211 style. And, as always, you guys killed it and once again showed that you can not only cover, but *improve* just about anything you're given.

This song is a true masterpiece for Christmas. A great Christmas song performed by a great band. Happy holidays First to Eleven. Hope your Christmas is full of cheers and smiles.

"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"

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 (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)
For yellow and red 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 one (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

Happy Christmas!

Love to hear this song in Audra's sweet vocals.

[brandonebolhuis]

something tells me that this song, among others [and originals, of course], was made for your voice; Master Lennon just didn't know, at the time.

thank yous for sharing.😊

[AnnoyingNewslettersPage]

Many thanks to them for the filming location.

Everything, from hair and makeup, to wardrobe, to the song, itself, ties together nicely with the location.

A holiday party that I'd love to attend.

Merry Christmas/holidays for all F211 fans... This cover is, as always with their Christmas covers, amazing!

She does amazing and it rocks there doing Christmas songs.

I really like this version from the very start. It is very emotional and believable. And: What the world needs right now is an end of all wars in the world. Peace and a happy new year.
