They bombed our Chippy

[tomoffing]

How you doing tiger,

This is an excellent piece. Short, but dense and evocative.
The no mans land Christmas football match is an excellent device.

Some thoughts below.

Overall, great read, thanks a lot. t

They bombed our Chippy


On this one uncontested inch, not sure if one is necessary. it aids the meter but one shifting to "un" is difficult. single perhaps...
let us stop to remember this:
Grace ain't forgetting.

If there's football on Christmas Day,
I couldn't watch if we couldn't play,
but Grace ain't forgetting.

So even if this too should pass- great enjambment here. Subtly introduces the Passover reference.
over the painted jamb on our house of glass, this reads a little long "over painted jamb on house of glass" would fit nicely, but eliminates the possessive. See what you think
Grace ain't forgetting.

And the football on that Christmas Day,
was played almost like children play,
but Grace ain't forgetting.

Grace is not forgetting.
I love the shift in the refrain, but would prefer it to be more emphatic somehow.
"Grace is never forgetting" maybe, or a chiasmus of sorts, "grace is always remembering". or "grace is stopping to remember", echoing stanza 1.
