It arrived in the mail the day after Christmas, but it was still a perfect way to wrap up my holiday.
Based on actual events during World War I, "Joyeux Noel" tells the story of a spontaneous truce declared by Scottish, French and German troops in the trenches on Christmas Eve 1914.
Click over to Lisa's site to watch the video. Then immediately add it to your Netflix or Blockbuster queue. Even if you are a bit Grinchy about holidays, this movie just might make you believe in Christmas miracles. And if you have any interest in history, make sure you watch the interview with the film's maker.
Thanks for turning me on to this movie, Lisa. I loved it. Two thumbs up.

I'm so glad you liked it! It surely makes one thankful for the folks on the front lines and all they put up with, especially at the holidays (and even more so for those in wars of days gone by because they had few of the relative niceties that make it to the military nowadays ... not that they have enjoyable times, but you know what I mean).
