Looks like I purchased this three years ago — Litsy says! 😊

Finally read it today 😳 It is a wonderful look at a dark time in history. Now I need to decide if this should go in my bin of Christmas books 🤔

I love me some history and I was surprised at how informative this book was about the horrors of the trenches and war. Since it's a Christmas book about the Christmas truce of 1941 (which I'd only heard about briefly) it does have a merry tone. Recommended as a read along #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

Karisa 😊 There's a Doctor Who Christmas Special about this too! (Made me cry--not difficult to do.🤣) 4y

I've been feeling sad today about the inauguration tomorrow - avoiding the news and social media, trying to tend to my soul. Today I read this. I am reminded that as much as I detest our president-elect, I can still appreciate living in a democracy and be grateful the description in this quote doesn't apply to me. I accept some will be hopeful tomorrow and some will mourn, but as for me, I am finally able to respect all sides. #peace #truce

LauraBrook Thank you for this. I, too, am sick and worried about tomorrow, and for our country, but at least it's not North Korea. (That sounds glib, but is not meant to be.) 7y
Gulfsidemusing Planning to read this soon... 7y
cathysaid @LauraBrook I know what you mean 👍 7y
cathysaid @Lakesidemusing I'm reading it slowly because I've got several books going. It's really interesting and engaging...which seems a bit odd when the subject matter is North Korea. 7y
