"There was very little firing - practically none at all. A friend of mine who was in business with a German firm in London assured me there would be no firing at all at Christmas. Of course as you can believe I rather laughed at the idea. However towards midnight the fun began. First they started lighting huge bonfires just behind the trenches and then began the carols. My word they can sing too! I was on guard from 10 to 12 with Bill Perplatt and we had a time listening to them. They were accompanied by brass bands. But the greatest surprise came on Christmas just before we went down to breakfast, and when the day came and we were back at the breastworks, the Germans had come out of their trenches. Both English and Germans were chatting together behind the trenches, smoking, and exchanging cigarettes and cigars. Of course most of us went up to see the fun. We hardly believed it. However it was true enough."

Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in “repair” money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about “anything.” Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World. Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!

Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections, and are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME. They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing. Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them, but were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden. I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky “souls” but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL! We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

A police officer, Lieutenant Detective John McClane, is apparently one of the hostages. No additional details are available at this time.

Let’s hope all involved get out alive on this Christmas Eve.
