That December, Easy Co. was visited by a Secret St. Nick, who left gifts in troopers’ foxholes. Perconte got new scissors. Christenson, Grant, and Hoobler each received worn, wool socks. Randleman was gifted a cigar, flavorless but nonetheless pleasing. Nixon discovered a fifth of crème de menthe. Smokey found a grenade canister stuffed with coffee grounds.

The men suspected Doc Roe, who had access to supplies given his trips back-and-forth between the Bois Jacques and the Bastogne aid station, or perhaps someone motherly like Lipton or big-hearted like Shifty. Regardless, the secret gift-giver made a hard Christmas a little brighter.
