Happyxmas

happyxmas, also known as happyxmas.mid was one of the midi files that played in the background while viewing Day 5 on the Project Britain Online Advent Calendar.

Sadly, due to the removal of the BGM music feature on websites, the midi file was removed.

However, it can still be found on Archive.org (Wayback Machine) versions of the website, but the midi file will not download or play.

The song is a midi rendition of Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon, and plays on Day 5.

The midi lasts for 3 minutes, 17 seconds (3:17).

Funnily though, the cues of the midi file are all the first lines of every new verse and chorus:

And so this is Xmas....

very merry Xmas.....

And so this is Xmas....

very merry Xmas.....

And so this is Xmas....

very merry Xmas.....

War is over if you want it...

It also has twelve blank channel tracks, which is more than most other midis containing blank channel tracks; they usually only have two.

Another rendition of Happy Xmas (War is Over), so%20this already exists back from 2002 and remained on the Advent Calendar up until the removal of the BGM music feature. happyxmas also existed in 2002 on Day 13, but so%20this also occupied Day 24.

However, so%20this is actually a completely different version, meaning that happyxmas and so%20this are duplicates of each other.

Former Uses
Back in 2002, Day 13 used happyxmas until 2003, where it got replaced by OLittleTownOfBethlehem, which got replaced by twelve in 2004.
