    This is amazing and powerful. It's a lesson and message to be emblazoned on the walkways of our lives and in all our conversations.

    Liberals and conservatives can agree on some things, much as the English and the German soldiers agreed on that magical Christmas Eve almost a century ago.

    The John McCutcheon song "Christmas in the Trenches" is a really well-done musical telling on this event.
