"CHRISTMAS EVE" "SILENT NIGHT"
It All Started On Christmas Eve During World War 1..1914..On The Front..Where Roughly 100,000 British and German Troops Were Facing each other..The German Side Was decorating A Christmas Tree With Candles..When a few Germans Started Singing "Silent Night"The British..after Hearing The Singing...Sang "Silent Night" Themselves
Before They knew What Was going On..The British and The German Troops Were Greeting each other..Exchanging Cigarettes And Whatever They Had With Each other..Taking Pictures Together..And Shaking Hands
This General good feeling Lasted Through Christmas Day..Where The opposing Sides Played Ball against Each other(That certainly Was better Than killing Each other)
One German Soldier Asked a British Soldier.."Why Are We Here?"
For Which The British Soldier Could not Find an Answer
We Must learn from This Happening
Because Im Sure There Were Soldiers from World War 2...Korea...Vietnam...And Other Wars..That Have... at The Least...Had it Run Through Their Mind
As In all Wars....Some Tried Talking..Some Tried Negotiating...
But It always seemed That It always Had To Go To The Bitter Bloody End
Maybe They Shouldve Tried Talking To Each Other On "Christmas Eve"
They Probably Could get better Results

Actually Produced a "Silent Night"..........
Whatever it did happen and makes mockery of those sending anyone to war.
Wishing you a good xmas eve nam, I am having a little tipple now
It seems the soldiers in WW1 were a lot smarter then than the powers to be at that time!
May we all make a New Year's resolution for WORLD PEACE!
