Best Christmas song I have heard for some time.
It seems very factual except for one minor point. There is reference to "gas clouds" but such clouds did not occur until the spring of 1915. There were a few gas shells used in 1914 but there were no clouds of rolling gas.
Even so, This is a great song!
