| See Wikipedia's article on it for more information. I could care less about the stories of friendship, trust, love, sharing, generosity etc. that pertain to Christmas. After learning about the Christmas truce, I disregarded all of those as trivial examples of holiday spirit. Giving up war temporarily just to celebrate Christmas with the opposing side? If that's not THE true story of cheerful, idealistic behavior on Christmas, I don't know what is. All I can say is: it must've been awkward going back to war afterward. | |||

| That's incredible. If we can stop an entire war for this one day, why can we not apply the same state of mind every other day? | |||

That is quite an amazing story. Damn, wish I knew about this earlier so I could bug my WWI know-it-all step-dad about it during the festivities today. |

| In all of the following years of the war, artillery bombardments were ordered on Christmas Eve to ensure that there were no further lulls in the combat.
What a bunch of party-poopers.  |

| From what I remember from History class - the next day, the men refused to fight because it was to awkward. Eventually, the men were moved out and both sides were called disgraces to eachothers military. (edited by Tanks on 12-25-06 02:45 PM) |
