At least I solved my puzzle...  [:)]
 
Got it to the last block, which I couldn't fit it without exploding the whole thing.  But I could take it apart and see what I did wrong.

A copy of the film Joyeux Noel, about the Christmas truce of 1914. Very poignant...

Just watched that the other day, still not sure how I feel about it. I think that means it was good...

Gone on such a tear with getting books the last two year that I have a backlog, so I decided this year to only buy, or ask for as gifts, videos. So, I will be settling in for the rest of the winter with Victory at Sea and a 5 disk collection called Battlefront Europe which includes the following movies: Battle of the Bulge, Where Eagles Dare, The Big Red One, The Dirty Dozen, and Battleground. Merry Xmas to all.

I got a lump of coal.... a hangover ......and somebody ate all my damned milk and cookies.....

Yes.
"Within the Alexiad, she describes the political and military history of the Byzantine Empire during the reign of her father (1081-1118), making it one of the most important sources of information on the Byzantium of the High Middle Ages. As well as this, within the Alexiad, the First Crusade's interaction with the Byzantine Empire is documented (despite being written nearly fifty years after the crusade), which highlights the conflicting perceptions of the East and West in the early 12th century."

It is somewhere in this page, along with few more historical sources:
