Peace on Earth because it is Christmas day sacred.
Should be just as attention getting, all important on all levels the other 364 days right? To apply what we learn to the way you and I live our entire calendar year.
Merry Christmas and remembering what happened a century ago that teaches us much.
Maintaining the spirit of Christmas under the harshest of elements. When good cheer, peace on Earth is needed the most.
Putting down the rifles to accomplish more in a wintry gesture involving the distant singing of Silent Night.
Sang in a different tongue. But still the same familiar tune striking a common universal language understood by all hunkered down on the battle field.
Low like the below zero temperatures where so many lost their life in blistering cold skirmishes. The extreme loss of life.
That song that lead to everyone putting down their weapons. Curiously crawling up and out of the foxhole trenches.
After poking their helmeted heads high enough to observe what was going on. From the peering between the strands of barbed wire fortifications in wonderment. Eventually leading to the exchanging from their meager rations that became luxurious gifts. From the scarce provisions of just the basics. But hungered for as the elements each side had the other did not. The best gifts are the one you cherish but give away for the joy it causes others in the sincere appreciation that explodes.
All part of the magic, miracle of the spirit of Christmas in the last place you or I would think to look. Warm handshakes, and the same spirited love to play attraction of football like today on a holiday. Just without the jumbo-tron, high salaries, cheerleaders, commercial breaks, forgetting where you parked the car for the stadium drive home.
