Dan LeFebvre authored a book with the French title, "Joyeux Noel". Christian Carion directed a feature-length film adaptation in 2005. Briefly, it is an account of an event which occurred at Christmas in 1914 between the British and French on one side of the war trenches, and the Germans on the other side. In England, Sainsbury is the name of a national grocery chain, and at the centenary of the First World War in 2014, Sainsbury released a powerful television advertisement, based upon the events described in "Joyeux Noel". In watching the advertisement, and after wiping away the tears (which happen every time I watch this), I wonder how many other people who view the interaction between "Jim" and "Otto" ask this question: Did they get together after the war to share the sweetness of the chocolate bar - and perhaps a romantic life - together? I know this has nothing to do with jockstraps (unless an historian might confirm whether any of the soldiers would have been strapped while in the trenches at that time?), but I hope that you will find the short film to be meaningful, especially at this Christmas season. As always, let us keep all of those who are in military service in our best wishes. Here is the link:
