xyplot(var1 + var2 ~ month,
       data = x1,
       type = "b")

Incidentally, R has a help system, and you will usually get more
reliable information if you read the help page of the function you are
using rather than "read through the archives". In this case, that
would be done by typing ?xyplot or help(xyplot).
