  NON FICTION ~~ For Andrea's Christmas story contest. 

It was the twenty fourth of December nineteen fourteen. Troops were English, French & Belgians, a bloody war was the scene. A sound was coming from the German enemy line. German soldiers were approaching on that day and singing in voices fine. A cry of “Merry Christmas” from the German solders who were advancing quick. They all looked so jovial, it didn’t seem to be a trick. For a short time, all were comrades not one bit afraid for their lives at all. There was laughing and joking, and they all joined in singing by night fall. Seemed all men were the same, didn’t matter which uniform they wore. How extraordinary, enemies singing together a carol in the middle of a war. By morning gifts of cake, smokes and clothes were exchanged by each side. A truce that should be an example of what we humans really have inside. A true show, that men aren’t killing machines, everyone, a husband or a son. A true Christmas Miracle from the bloody chapters of World War One.
