OFI 231: Merry Christmas 2016! From Autumm, Hattie & Matt

The picture you see above is of American graves in Belgium.  The graves are of those who fought and died in World War II to liberate Europe.

Our Christmas episode this year ties together the Greatest Generation, farming and story of a truce inside a hunting cabin in the Ardennes Forest on Christmas Eve, 1944.  I like to try and find something special to present you with on our Christmas episode, and the movie Silent Night / Peace on Earth which tells the story of this truce kept coming to mind.  I hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
