A Few Days Before Christmas
'Tis the Season.
Today's Rune: Warrior.
Today's Birthdays: Édith Piaf (Édith Giovanna Gassion), Professor Longhair (b. Henry Roeland Byrd), Maurice White, Jennifer Beals, Amy Locane, Paolo Rey.
When I was a reporter, I did a story on a veteran who found the Christmas Day menu from I guess World War II, I don't think it was World War I. This was probably '93 or '94 so a nice round-numbered anniversary for the year he sate while at war. It was a nice turkey and dressing dinner apparently and the menu for their meal was on a little white card. An extra touch to try make it all a little nice for them.
Seems that the sentiment hasn't changed in almost a hundred years.
