The Christmas Truce didn’t change the war. But it exposed something the war depended on hiding—that up close, the enemy didn’t look like a monster at all.
Just cold.
Just tired.
Just human.
A hundred years later, in 2014, a British supermarket—Sainsbury’s—released a Christmas advertisement telling this very story. Two soldiers meet in No Man’s Land. They share chocolate. They kick a football. Then the war returns. The ad ends quietly, without triumph, and without pretending the truce lasted longer than it did.
It went viral. Over two million people watched it in a matter of days.
Which says something.
Because the ad didn’t invent the moment. It didn’t exaggerate it much, either. It just reminded people that for one night, ordinary men chose not to kill each other—and that a century later, we’re still moved by the idea.
Not because it was perfect.
Not because it saved the world.
But because it showed, briefly, what the world could look like if the guns stopped long enough for people to recognize one another.
That’s why the story survives.
That’s why it still gets told every Christmas.

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer - This is what Susie Wiles meant when she said Trump and Epstein were “young, single playboys together.”
And if they’re taking this down, just imagine how much more they’re trying to hide…
This could be one of the biggest cover ups in American history.

It appears as though these photos have now been taken down from the Department of Justice's website:

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer - The law Congress passed calls for the complete release of the Epstein files so that there can be full transparency. This set of heavily redacted documents released by the Department of Justice today is just a fraction of the whole body of evidence.
Simply releasing a mountain of blacked out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law. For example, all 119 pages of the document below were completely blacked out. We need answers as to why.
Senate Democrats are working to assess the documents that have been released to determine what actions must be taken to hold the Trump administration accountable. We will pursue every option to make sure the truth comes out.

Classic Film TV Cafe @classic_film - Ginger Rogers won the #FilmFemaleDancers Tournament easily over Cyd Charisse. That's not a surprise.
However, this tournament was one of my favorites in 2025 because it inspired many folks to check out 16 of the finest dancers that graced the silver screen.
