What is the best Christmas present ever?

A story by Michael Morpurgo is titled The Best Christmas Present in the World. In this tale, the author purchases a roll-top table from a salvage yard and begins restoring it on Christmas Eve. He discovers a hidden space in the last drawer while fixing it. There was a tiny tin box in the concealed area. Inside the tin box, he discovers a letter that Jim Macpherson, a captain in the English Army, sent to his wife Connie. It was a description of an occurrence that happened on Christmas Day in 1914 on the battlefield.

The soldiers from Germany and England were having Christmas together that day, completely oblivious to their animosity toward one another and the fact that they were at war. They dined and drank together. They performed carols and played a football game at night. The nicest Christmas present ever was given to Mrs. Macpherson when the author brought this letter to the hospital.
