One hundred and ten years ago, in the trenches of France, British and German troops heard “Silent Night” being sung.
It’s not sure which side sang first or heard it first, but a miracle happened: The Tommies and the Jerries cautiously came out of their trenches and exchanged boisterous Christmas greetings.
For many who follow history, this may have been the last gasp of Christendom. If anything, it is inconceivable that anything like this would happen today. Not only between Western countries but within Western countries.
All we can hope for at this point is that we make it to January 20 and the outgoing administration doesn’t cause World War III to break out. It would be a miracle but then again, what happened on that Christmas Eve was a miracle also.
We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
