A MEMORIAL COMMEMORATING THE 1914
CHRISTMAS TRUCE IN ENGLAND

Hello Everyone. Sidney St. James with you in the Holiday Season of 2022. And, in only four days one of the most amazing things happened that many are not even aware. As you probably already have experienced, it’s during the holidays that traditions happen. Driving around the neighborhoods looking at Christmas Lights. Little ones remaining in bed in the morning hours waiting and wondering if Santa had made a visit. Or, there’s my aluminum foil star and angel I made when I was six years old that we still hang in the tree. And then there’s Barbara Christmas Ball that is always hidden inside the tree somewhere where Santa has to really look hard to find it. Surprisingly, he has found it every year!

But it was about fifteen years ago I was invited to speak to all of the veterans of foreign wars in World War II, Korean Ware, and Vietnam and Desert Storm.

I worked on trying to find the right topic to give a talk of which I was given fifteen minutes to do ten days before Christmas. Well, as you probably already got figured out, I never throw anything away. I’m not necessary a pack rat… but maybe a packman, cause I got dozen of boxes on the shelves like many of you do. If this was a text I was sending, I would say “lots of laughs”

But, anyhow, I found the transcript of that particular talk I gave and it was a hit and very few people knew about it.

Back on Christmas Eve in 1914, God Began to work in his mysterious ways. I thought it would be an appropriate podcast for this time of the year for all the bad things happening in the world.

Can’t we all just get along with each other around this entire globe. Well, for my story.
