CEASE FIRE

We hear the inevitable stories about battlefield cessation of hostilities on Christmas Day. Armies that had been trying to annihilate each other, stop for twenty-four hours so they can celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace.

Next day they resume the slaughter.

Let us remember that an important victory in America’s War of Independence came in 1776 from a sneak attack launched by George Washington ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
