Nice.

That's good stuff.

I've got to share that with my father and father in law and brothers. Thanks for the good post.

There is an excellent full length movie about this event. Here is the trailer:  https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=joyeux+noel&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=B05F1D5417BB38A0D7EEB05F1D5417BB38A0D7EE

If you have netflix or a rental store where you can pick it up, you won't regret it. It has become one of my Christmas favorites and is very fitting that we are approaching the 100th anniversary of the event.
