Christmas 1915

Last night I attended The Christmas Concert at a HS where I do a bit of volunteer work. The Boys Choir sang a song called Christmas 1915, which strangely enough is about the 1914 Christmas Truce on the front lines on WW1 when the soldiers themselves decided to have a ceasefire.
It is a truly beautiful and haunting song. I looked on youtube and found a great version by the group Celtic Thunder. I tried, without success to embed it here for all to enjoy.
Would someone be kind enough to share it with the forum? Its not an overtly religious song.
Thanks in advance.

Very nice. Thanks for the idea and post link.
Beautiful song! Thank you for sharing.
Very Pretty and sad. Thank you for sharing. I hear the older Veterans speak of things like this happening.
I really like this one - about the same event.

Which ? The Celtic Thunder or The McDermott?

BTW- I never realized the Irish kid from Glee was in Celtic Thunder.
