Qjth Christmas is always the most important day of the year and one particular Christmas day, in the year 1776, greatly affected the course of American history. On Christmas day of 1776, the struggle of the new American republic for independence seemed almost hopeless. Tattered, hungry, riddled with dysentery, the American Army was barely hanging on, with little left but hope. Along the banks of the Delaware River, some SiOO men huddled, many shoeless, this bleak Christmas night. In this setting, General George Washington said to his command: “This is it, gentlemen—victory or death. That is our only watchword. "Notwithstanding the discouraging accounts, I am determined to cross the river and make the attack on Trenton in the morning.” The rest is history. Washington and his ragged army ignored the snow, ice and sleet to make a dangerous river crossing and an agonizing march to Trenton. Under Washington’s inspired leadership, the Americans humbled the vaunted Hessian mercenaries and wrote one of the most glorious pages in the AmerictA history book.

How did the Christmas letter get started t “Who knows how it got started f u says Madeline. "How do you quits Our friends won’t let us quit." Campbell is a retired Pennsylvania State University professor who for nearly SO years taught engineering drawing. Now, he is a once-a-year author and some SOO friends of Dave and Madeline Campbell —in a half dozen foreign countries and most of the United States—refuse to let the dynamic Campbell Christmas letter give way to a conventional car A
