Here's a new holiday themed print inspired by the Christmas truce of 1914. If your not familiar with the story here's a brief overview. Starting on Christmas Eve during WWI, many German and British troops sang Christmas carols to each other across the lines. At dawn both sides came out of their trenches for a short-lived ceasefire. Drinks and small gifts were exchanged. For a brief moment not even war could stop the Christmas spirit.
