      I was only six when Chaplin died but I can remember it quite well. And I remember when his body was stolen.

        Two men from Eastern Europe stole his body and asked the wife for a ransom but she didn't care (as he was dead). Anyway, they found the body and put him under six feet of concrete to stop it happening again.

        I thought this was a wind-up, so did 'google' it, and it's absolutely true. Chaplin was buried in the hills above Lake Geneva (Switzerland), and his body was stolen by a Pole & a Bulgarian! Who did indeed demand a ransom. This happened in 1978, a couple of days after he was buried.

      The Christmas truce of 1914 should have been permenent. If the lads were better led, both sides should have gone home, and let the politicans fight it out - they bloody well caused it!!!

      You forgot an important one. Charlemagne was crowned first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on Christmas day in the year 800 - officially uniting Europe under Christianity and ushering in the Middle Ages. Maybe not much now but in its day this was a biggie.
