241 Years ago (when Americans weren't afraid to wage war on Christmas) Washington led the Continental Army across the Delaware River. The following morning they would defeat a vast garrison of German mercenaries (known as Hessians).
It proved to be a turning point in the American Revolution, in particular convincing the French to increase their financing of the effort.
The fact that Christmas was a major holiday in Germany, but not in America at that time, may or may not have had any impact on the outcome.
