Bob Clayton Sad Christmas Songs (23) RE: Sad Christmas Songs 26 Sep 97

Sorry, but "Christmas in the Trenches" is by John McCutcheon, not John McWhatshisnameyousaid. Very good song, but the thrust is not the sadness of Christmas & New Year (there are theories as to why people get morose at that time -- my favorite is the length of the daylight one). The story (a true one) is of a "fraternization with the enemy" which took place in WWI ("The War to End All Wars," an ironic title if there ever was one).
