Christmas in the Trenches

Over at her blog Hippie Cahier posted the beautiful and true story of the Christmas Truce of 1914.  It's the true story of soldiers on opposite sides of the war putting down their weapons to celebrate Christmas Eve together.  It's a beautiful illustration of the best of the human spirit even in the worst of times.

Here is the story as told by musician John McCutcheon.  I hope your Christmas is full of joy and that you find peace in even the most unexpected of places.

Merry Christmas!
