9).... waiting for Christmas...

...  oh yes, 16 days to Christmas!
.... e siamo al nono giorno di dicembre, il mese dell'attesa, delle riflessioni e della gioia... ma non è sempre e dovunque così.

Cosa c'è al numero nove?
Ho trovato questo John Lennon sentito e risentito tanto, specialmente nei centri commerciali e per le strade piene di luci e di finta allegria.
Ma ciò che ci canta è veramente gioia?
Per me c'è solo tanta speranza, 
is war really over?

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)...
(John Lennon - Yoko Ono)...

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 world is so wrong

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

And so this is Christmas
And what have we 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

War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now...
