some carols from the film joyeux noel, for christmas eve starts with a song from the british side and then if you want to fast forward and slide the counter forward to 3.40 you get the german soldier singing silent night followed by adestes fidelis

Just watched a show about the Xmas Truce in 1914. Really amazing when you think about it.

I watched the same show. Amazing! That temporary truce brings home what Christmas is all about. At least the killing stopped for a while, due to the spirit of Christmas. It shows there is always hope. Merry Christmas!
