  1. December 25, 1914 - Just after midnight on Christmas morning, German troops at the front in World War I ceased firing their guns and artillery, and began to sing Christmas carols. At the first light of dawn, many of the German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allied lines across no man's land, calling out "Merry Christmas" in their enemies' native tongues.

    At first the Allied soldiers suspected it to be a trick, but they soon climbed out of their trenches and shook hands with the German soldiers. The men exchanged presents of cigarettes and plum puddings; the fighting didn’t resume in earnest for several days, and then only at the insistence of the generals.

  17. There was *another* #ChristmasTruce

    (snip)

    Fritz Vicken, a 12 year old boy in December 1944, told the story of he and his mother spending Christmas Eve in a cottage in the Huertgen forest after their home in Aachen had been destroyed.

    Separate small groups of first American then German soldiers, each with wounded comrades, knocked on the door seeking refuge and were accepted.

    Although they all could have been executed for fraternization, they shared a meal of chicken, potatoes, rye bread and wine. The next day they shook hands and departed in the direction of their separate armies.

  19. На Рождество Христово христиане России продолжат убивать своих братьев по вере.
    Путин отказался от рождественского перемирия, об этом он заявил на "прямой линии".

    Сегодня утром Россия нанесла удар по Киеву пятью баллистическими ракетами типа «Искандер-М». Пострадали здания шести дипломатических представительств (Албании, Аргентины, Палестины, Северной Македонии, Португалии и Черногории) и Костел Святого Николая.

    Обломки сбитых ракет нанесли ущерб и разрушения в пяти районах столицы. Мэр Киева Виталий Кличко заявил, что в результате атаки было ранено 9 человек, из них четверо были отправлены в реанимацию. Один убит.
    Было повреждено теплоснабжение 630 жилых домов, 16 лечебных заведений, 17 школ и 13 детских садов. Из них без отопления и горячей воды все еще остаются 18 домов, одна больница и 13 ведомственных построек.

  25. And today we're all brothers
    Tonight we're all friends
    A moment of peace in a war that never ends
    Today we're all brothers
    We drink and unite
    Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white

    A Christmas on the frontline
    We walk among our friends
    We don't think about tomorrow
    The battle will commence
    When we celebrated Christmas
    We thought about our friends
    Those who never made it home
    When the battle had commenced
