We've been working very hard the last few weeks, with Sally taking on what amounts to another part-time "job" helping our friend Sylvia Stultz cope with a variety of cancers. Sally suggested we go out to a movie to be sure we really got away from our daily obligations (most of which we enjoy most of the time). She picked the movie and I was a little skeptical, thinking that it would be too dreary or treacly, but it was neither.
Wonderful music, acting, etc. based on an astonishing historical event - Christmas eve 1914 when many soldiers of German, French, Scots, British armies spontaneously observed a temporary truce.

Nice to know that at least sometimes when people, even at war, recognize underlying humanity, they can resist the forces that too often compel them to violence and killing.
