"In each and every one of us our minds were more inclined to homesickness than usual. Why? I don’t know. Christmas, as a family celebration, has grown on all of us. The Christmas tree, which burns in the richest palace as in the poorest hut, is a symbol of a warm and safe home, and it’s difficult for us to do without it. And we did not do without it, not even at outposts. It was almost touching to see how people picked small fir branches, lit them and dreamed of home."
