Christmas Story - A Christmas Truce
|
Here�s a direct link to a page that has an ESL activity about a true Christmas story that warms my heart every time I hear it told. The link is refreshed about once a week, so you need to download it ASAP and not wait.

Merry Christmas

Isn�t it the most incredible story. Weren�t canadian troops part of the allies alongside new Zealand and Australians? Of course the song - Snoopy�s Christmas refers to the truce - with the German �red baron� making overtures of peace.
It is a shame the generals were allowed to prevail, it seems like the troops all new what they were doing!
I discussed this topic and song with my students and they told me about a famous football match between the Chileans and the Argentinians on the eve of what nearly became a war between the two countries. Apparently this occurred shortly before the Falklands war with England during the erm 1980�s or late 70�s??

Yes, they were. Over 1 million Canadian troops helped out... which was a fair amount considering Canada only had a population of about 11-12 million people...
