‘I shall never forget it’: 100 years since WWI #Christmas truce (Warning: it gets VERY emotional at the end!) Then, during that first Christmas Day during World War I, in 1914, something magical happened, at least in some areas. Soldiers, the number is hard to quantify but believed to be around 100,000, who had been killing each other by the tens of thousands for months, climbed out of their soggy trenches to seek a shred of humanity amid the horrors of war. Hands reached out across a narrow divide, presents were exchanged, and in Flanders Fields a century ago, a spontaneous Christmas truce briefly lifted the human spirit. #ShareTheGift #ChristmasTruce #ChristIsTheReason #ChristmasEve #MerryChristmas Share + Like my Page for More╰▶ Keith Kuder
