World War 1. Western Front. It is Christmas 1914. Comes the snow. The soldiers decorate their trenches, receive gifts from their families, a German tenor has moved to the front to share with his carols. Everything is ready for pass a different Christmas.
of the German position, shy singing defying night. On the other hand, the British army, composed of Scottish bagpipes with his proud answer. The French listen. Something stirs in the hearts of the soldiers, a silent wind travels through the labyrinth of trenches. There are cries that exceed the distance, coming and going from one position to another. They are soldiers, ignoring the logic of war, launch Christmas greetings to the enemy. Now the tenor sings "Silent Night." The man has taken a position on the front, the reason for the destruction and the clash of arms gives way to the heart that beats recalling his own, his girlfriend, weeping wife, mother, the little guy barely remember ... The will to survive is strong, the need for security is imposed. From music, to necessities, from a few carols, the desire for peace and goodwill. The meaning of the symbol is clear.
Some evidence of the facts have to be declared an unofficial truce, not recognized by the General Staff of the contenders. The soldiers forgot their guns and left the meeting. Good wishes were exchanged, shared cigarettes, whiskey, chocolate. It showed photos of loved ones. And there was a time to heal wounds, to celebrate and return a smile.
With all my heart MERRY CHRISTMAS

Esti ye AlbertÃn gourd when I was a kid, one day he wanted to go with his father to see the snow. Then he insisted that the handful of ice was for his mother and had to return to full speed. I was afraid to melt. It has been over a year and the heart is still rolling in the freezer. And sometimes, the whole house. And woe to anyone who has an oversight!
