"Christmas in Fallujah" is a single written by Billy Joel and performed by Cass Dillon. A few weeks after recording the track, Joel introduced Dillon on stage in Chicago for the first live performance of the song. It is also Joel's second new song of original material with lyrics he had written since 1993's River of Dreams after "All My Life".
The single was released on December 4, 2007, exclusively from the iTunes Store and was included on Dillon's EP A Good Thing Never Dies (iTunes download). The proceeds from this single were donated to Homes for Our Troops, a nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted homes for American service members returning from Iraq (Fallujah is a city in Iraq) and Afghanistan with severe disabilities.
