What promise about Christmas by whom Jim?
Made up shit.
Most joined after Christmas anyway.

Greg your link is to a collection of primary sources, not any historians' work.

Why not just name a few of your historians so we could learn from them?
Plenty of room for that.

Or just a couple.
Or even one.

Only a complete lying arsehole would say "Not room enough here to list 'em all,"

But that is what you are!
Right Greg?
