Merry Christmas Across The Front Line
There was a shockingly human moment of truth during one of the darkest hours of human history during World War I when Scottish, French, and German soldiers gathered on Christmas eve to celebrate their mutual religious holiday. A moment of profound bonding and warmth was created in the midst of a terrible war which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives - an entire generation of Europeans.
I had wanted to see this film for a while and I was delighted when it arrived from Chris Netflix account yesterday. Please let me know if you've seen it. It is one of the great stories of modern times.
