How beautiful to think that war can be paused by the power of music and in the spirit of holidays (makes me dream that maybe if we sing more, we could stop all wars for good) 💝
I love Liz Callaway! I haven’t heard that song in years. I think I know it from when I worked in a performing arts school teaching singing… this was one of the Christmas songs you could sing for the holiday recital
A history lesson as well as a culinary lesson ! This gift ticks AT LEAST 2 BOXES, quite likely more. I would count this as an early Christmas gift. My THANKS, just for myself ! 🙏🙏
My goodness, I wasn’t expecting to have a little cry on my birthday but reading this in the early morning with a bottle of fizz for one, you have brought a tear to a glass eye, Jolene…
We need this historic reminder that goodness, songs (and chocolate!) can happen even during the bloodiest of conflicts and darkest of times. Thanks for this beautiful piece, Jolene.

Thank you, Pam, and Liz is wonderful, isn’t she?
Thanks, Pam!
That beautiful story about the Christmas during the Great War always hits me hard. Thanks for reminding me of it at this time.
Gutting and beautiful all at once.
I was just going to mention the very same thing. Gets me every time.
Me too.
The Christmas truce! Thank you for this Jolene
Thank you, Amy!
Thanks for sharing that glimmer of kindness and connection during war.
Thank you, Vicki, I love the phrase “glimmer of kindness and connection” ✨

Well said, my friend. ❤️
If we could just sing it all away. Hope springs eternal.
