Re: merry xmas
Who would have thought that a thread headed Merry Xmas would have led to a declaration of war.

Re: merry xmas
Happy Ho Ho to all! Just came across this, never hurts to take a minute to remember all those Ghosts of Christmas past...
The Christmas song Silent Night has long been a cherished part of our shared culture — in 2011 it was even granted UNESCO cultural heritage status.
But the power of the carol was never so clear as on Christmas Eve 1914, when fighting on the battlefields of World War I stopped - and a lone soldier's exquisite voice made history.
"It was impromptu, no one planned it," Stanley Weintraub, the author of Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce, told Daybreak South's Chris Walker.
"It has to begin with something, and it did begin with elements of shared culture. If it hadn't been for shared culture, certainly there would have been no Christmas truce."
Weintraub said it started with German officer, Walter Kirchhoff, a tenor with the Berlin Opera.
"He came forward and sang Silent Night in German, and then in English. In the clear, cold night of Christmas Eve, his voice carried very far.
"The shooting had stopped and in that silence he sang and the British knew the song and sang back."
Gradually the troops crawled forward into No Man's Land, said Weintraub.
The song had a deep impact on many of the soldiers.
"Soldiers … wrote home the day after to their families, to their wives, and to their parents, saying, 'You won't believe this. It was like a waking dream.'"
"They recognized that on both ends of the rifle, they were the same."

Re: merry xmas
Jarndice , the first post was censored as a few members objected to the image and i would of pulled it as some of our members are children , and your post was censored because this forum does not encourage bad feeling towards others , baiting is not tolerated in any shape or form , so if you don't mind can you drop the bahh humbug remarksjarndice wrote:Hotte I do not agree with you being censored although I can see why it was done, WHAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY MY GREETING SUFFERED THE SAME FATE?????Let's see if I can get away with it now, "and those who no longer sign on to the Forum" That has to be the stuff of revolution!!!![]()

at least they gave a reason for butchering Hottes amusing piece, not so mine. I reiterate my first two words in that greeting and they are directed at the censor, "BAHH HUMBUG" shaun
