[B]A Request to President Lincoln of the United States,[/B]

Mr. Lincoln, while we both claim to be fighting on the side of God and while we could argue which of us is on God's side until His Judgement Day, I would like to request that we both put our words about our faith into action. [B]I kindly request a cessation of hostilities between us on the days of December 24th, 25th, and 26th so that our soldiers may celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ peacefully.[/B]
