Three of the former Beatles wrote songs intended for the Christmas holidays. Each saw varying degrees of success. But each song was centered around a different point of view. Lennon wanted to capitalize on the season of goodwill to make a political statement regarding ending the Vietnam war. McCartney made a feel-good recording about traditional Christmas activities. Harrison made a song about taking off the old self and becoming a new man. All holiday themed, all different perspectives.
