  1. The letter was written by Jim Macpherson to his wife, Connie, to tell her about the amazing event of the Christmas truce on December 25, 1914. On that day, British and German soldiers, who were fighting in World War I, put down their weapons and celebrated Christmas together. They shared food and drinks, sang carols, exchanged gifts, and even played a game of football. This unexpected act of peace and kindness in the middle of a brutal war was the wonderful thing Jim wanted to share with Connie in his letter.
