Hello Hessians; I have seen the TV movie, I have read many books about this event on Christmas 1776 at Trenton, N.J. when General George Washington surprised the Hessians in their sleep after they had celebrated the most Christian of all Christian holidays. True Christian spirit, but then again - in love and war only results count. Food for thought - another Christmas is coming. I wish for a peaceful Christmas 2004 I wish for everyone to 'think' PEACE and make PEACE and help PEACE.
