Lots of people are discussing the Christmas truce of 1914. Soccer/futbol fans are saying it was due to the common love of sports, some ads are suggesting the same. I say no, the reports of games came the next morning from other soldiers accounts. I have read from the then censored soldiers letters and it is clear to me that it was *Music* that first crossed our boundaries between the trenches. The tune to Silent Night was recognized by German, English and French soldiers alike and our common humanity gelled again, if but for a moment.
