Good point. I just found a gift certificate and may buy this book tonight. Sounds like a good read...

Folksinger John McCutcheon has a lovely song based on this same event, "Christmas in the Trenches." I forget which album. But it's well worth seeking out.

Tried to find this book this evening, as I did not want to wait for it to show up on Christmas ;) It was not available at the B&N stores I checked - they say it has been selling very, very well.

I'll check a B&N Megastore tomorrow.
