The most famous Christmas celebration by George Washington occurred before he was president. While commander of the colonial forces, Washington made a bold move that helped breathe new life into the fledgling republic. Without sending Christmas cards or announcements to warn the enemy, General Washington crossed the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey with 2,400 men on Christmas Day of 1776.


Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas onyx!

Great pics.

I love the framed wooded setting of GW kneeling in prayer alongside his trusted equestrian friend.
