“Sadie here. Well,
tonight is Christmas
Eve, and while
we celebrate the
holiday there is
something important to
think about.
One hundred years ago today, on December 24, 1914, a miracle of sorts took place on a field in Belgium. It happened just five months after the outbreak of your human species' World War I. On that bitter cold night, men who were foes in battle became gentlemen who refused to fight. This brings to mind the words from a song - ‘ Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.’

Perhaps this legacy might be repeated and become long lasting in our all of our lifetimes.
Below, is the extraordinary story of the Christmas Truce of 1914. It is something to think about during this long, dark night that is designated for hope in the midst of winter. Merry Christmas everyone! With love, Sadie”’
