The Most Beautiful Christmas Ornament

The Most Beautiful Christmas Ornament

Author : Aggeliki Darlasi
Edition : Metaixmio
Class name : grades 3 - 6

This is the story of a special Christmas ornament that hangs on a Christmas tree in someone’s home, in one of the many countries around the globe.  It is the story of a boy who, despite looking like an elf, put on soldier’s garb in order to go fight in one of the most savage wars.  It is also the story of a short ceasefire in a long war – when amongst the trenches appeared small Christmas trees.

It is a story who many would want to silence, or to let be forgotten, and that many did not believe and said was merely a legend. Yet this story is true… when on Christmas day 1914, during World War I, Christmas magic descended upon the Western Front and brotherhood and peace on Earth reigned.
