Some dates whisper; December 24 rings like a bell. From a monk’s cave at Greccio and a candlelit carol in Oberndorf to a treaty table in Ghent and a blue Earth rising over the Moon, this day has a knack for threshold moments. Empires marched, cities rebuilt, radios sang to ships, a new Europe lit a rocket in the jungle, and markets panicked while communities sandbagged. The stories here are not tidy—they run from truce to terror, opera to evacuation, invention to storm. This volume of Echoes gathers fifty true events that happened on December 24, told plainly and illustrated for you to color: line-accurate settings, artifacts, uniforms, vessels, and machines—no shading, all details. It’s a winter ledger of human grit, craft, error, wonder, and the strange poetry of history landing on one square of the calendar.
