The best Christmas story ever
« on: December 15, 2009, 08:55:38 PM »
The last gasp of the 19th century ? I always share this with my kids . I am sure that everyone here knows the story well . I used to have a book with letters home from the guys that were there . Wish I could even remember the title . Anyway here is a link to a good Christmas song not often heard .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9coPzDx6tA&feature=related

No . As this story takes place at  the start of the 20Th century . I am referring to the romantic ideals of the 19Th century .

For another unusual Christmas story, read the libretto for The Lost Christmas cd of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. 
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. (Seneca, 1st century AD, et al)
Practice random acts of kindness and senseless beauty. (Anne Herbert, 1982, Sausalito, CA)
