Christmas Truce 1914

For a year or so, I've been following Letters of Note and have mentioned it on my book blog several times because many of the letters are from authors I love.  For Christmas this year, there are links to the letters written about the season.  All of them are wonderful and articulate, and you should really read them all, but the one that I'm including is about the Christmas event that Sainsbury made their famous commercial about.  




But don't neglect the other wonderful letters
from Steinbeck, Tolkien, Mark Twain, and others.
I especially liked Sylvia Warner Townsend's
"thank you" letter for the gift of a matchbox.

Merry Christmas!
