The Christmas Truce will be on the History Channel tonight, 8:00 in my area. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. This is a Christmas story that has been a part of my Christmas thoughts and feelings for 28 years. I've only read about it in books, which are 2nd and 3rd hand accountings of it. Tonight I understand there will be interviews with people who were actually there, experiencing it.
I will be taping it so the kids can watch it at a later time. It will be too late for them on a school night to stay up for it. I'm sure #3 will lose interest after a short time, but I think that the older boys will find parts of it interesting. I am hoping that it becomes as much a part of their Christmas thoughts for years to come as it has been for me.
