Beautiful, best Christmas advert this year.

THIS IS IT

THIS IS THE ADVERT I WAS TALKING ABOUT

THIS IS A SUPERMARKET CHRISTMAS ADVERT AND I CRIED ACTUAL TEARS OVER IT

THIS JUST MADE ME VERY EMOTIONAL

I AM WEEPING. 

Okay folks, get ready to SOB.

THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

In France, in December of 1914, on Christmas Eve, a group of German soldiers started singing “Stillenacht,” which we know as “Silent Night.” The English troops on the opposing side began singing along, and eventually the two groups sang several carols together in their separate languages.

Then one brave soul decided to leave the trench, with a truce flag held high, and slowly, the rest of the soldiers also moved into No Man’s Land. They exchanged Christmas greetings, played a rousing game of soccer, sang a few more songs, and yes, traded some secret goodies sent from home.

At dawn, they were forced to go back to the trenches and resume their duties, but after the impromptu Christmas parties, THEY COULD NOT BRING THEMSELVES TO FIRE ON THE OPPOSING TRENCHES. High command had to intervene and ship the soldiers on both sides to different locations on the front.

Keep in mind also that many of these soldiers were between the ages of 16 and 35. Some had wives and kids back home, some were fresh out of school. Some were younger and had lied about their ages to enlist. Some were there out of a sense of duty or to earn money. Some had been drafted and just wanted to go home. But every last one of them completely abandoned the idea of fighting in favor of celebrating a shared holiday.

If you’ve never heard the song “Christmas In The Trenches,” it tells the story of what was known as The Christmas Truce and you should give it a listen. I can’t hear the last verse without crying.

Oh my name is Francis Tolliver In Liverpool I dwell. Each Christmas come since World War One I’ve learned its’ lessons well. That the ones who call the shots Won’t be among the dead and lame And on each end of the rifle… We’re the same.

Let us hope that holiday cheer and good will find those who most need it this season, and that our troops overseas come safely home.

I am going to fucking scream the next time my father calls mike brown a "grown man" or a "criminal". He was a kid. He just got out of high school. He's someone's baby, an innocent boy. Don't you dare tell me he knew what he was asking for, and don't you dare tell me I don't know what I'm talking about when I've been the victim of racism many times. How dare you sit down at the dinner table and support a murderer who killed an 18 year old black boy. A boy who never got to live his life because it was stolen. Don't forget all the black lives lost and don't you dare condemn protesters for trying to crush a system that's crushing them.
