Today we listened to John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s beautiful Christmas song ‘ Happy Xmas (War Is Over)and learned that their son Sean continues to carry the torch for world peace.
The famous couple released their anthem Happy Xma s (War Is Over) in 1971 to the backdrop of the Vietnam War, and as part of their protest against this war which continued until 1975. Sean Ono Lennon's short film War Is Over! won an Oscar in 2023.
He is promoting a new picture book War Is Over! which aims to reach
a younger audience and inspire us all with hope for a better and more peaceful
world through empathy and understanding. ‘We hope this will be a topic of
conversation among friends and family, ‘Sean said.
Well, this topic was suggested to us by Antonio for our Wednesday get-together
on December 10th Human Rights Day and it led to a stimulating discussion
The United Nations General Assembly appointed this as the day of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1950.
