Its been 100 years since since the Christmas Truce of 1914. Im not exactly a historian by any means but some accounts have shown the Germans setting up Christmas trees on the trenches showing a sign of peace. Other accounts also have it where Silent Night was heard across No Mans Land which led to this moment as well. The moment was short lived, as shown in the video, but both sides were able to exchange gifts, play a little soccer, and bury their dead. In some records, there were soldiers who refused to go back to the fighting or no longer had it in them. The Christmas Truce of 1914 has to be one of my favorite Christmas stories along with the birth of Christ. Its just beautiful. Heres to another 100 years of Christmas peace. Thank you baby Jesus (literally) :)
