Christmas Truce
A Christmas truce between British and German troops happened on December 24, 1914. Both troops decorated their trenches and sang Christmas carols; the Germans usually sang Stille Nacht (Silent Night) while the British troops sang some English carols. The two opposing sides shouted Christmas greetings to each other. They even set a "no man's land" where they exchanged small presents. Ah, the message of Christmas, who can deny?
