“What I had still believed to be madness several hours ago I could see now with my own eyes. Bavarians and English, until then the greatest of enemies, shook hands, talked and exchanged items.
A single star stood still in the sky directly above them, and was interpreted by many as a special sign. More and more joined, and the entire line greeted each other.”
- Josef Wenzl, German soldier.
This comes hotly requested by many, I hope this lives up to whatever expectations you have xx

Always remember this truce. When British and German soldiers laid down their arms around Christmas 1914, to exchange gifts, share season's greetings and play football. Germany won 3-2 (allegedly). This is the only real event of its kind that happened in the 20th century, if at all. This should be a time remembered, cherished, loved. Thanks for bringing it to life, Jörm, you magnificent bastard. >inb4 hasn't event started yet >inb4 edited for grammar reasons

It just shows that even when at times of war when all is dark, humans can still find a way to shed the light, facing uncertainty and potential death these young men laid there arms down and some at first were still hesitant, accounts from the night was that at first instead of gunfire across no man’s land you’d hear the hymns of soldiers singing Christmas carols, there was football, gifts and lots of drinking for sure, for one night the war stopped to allow for some light to be casted over the darkest time in history.

While it has been mythologised as one single event, the Christmas Truce actually occurred in several places, although by no means over the entire Front. Indeed, it was not the only truce of the war; while it never occurred on the same scale as 1914, there were impromptu truces throughout the war. Indeed, in quiet sections, there were often periods of "live and let live" truces where neither side fired weaponry to give periods for rebuilding trenches and so on. While it probably wasn't what one would call common, spontaneous truces were a significant enough issue that high command on both sides took significant steps to try and prevent it.

A distant member of my family was conscripted to the German army, being a part of the Danish minority in southern Jutland, a part of Denmark that was back then part of the German Empire after the war of 1864. He died on the Western Front in 1917. It is a conflict very much removed from my reality and from the modern day, luckily. That one night back in 1914 they proved that it would one day be possible. I hope he knew that.

I wish this had more recognition as being what Christmas is all about; God, brotherly love and schadenfreude. Even in heated war they took the time to shuck and jive, no excuse for us. I'm sure God is happy to have them with him.

The first time I heard about this event I was in 5th grade. My music teacher told us this story and ended with "...and when christmas was over the soldiers went back to there trenches and continued killing each other. There you can see how perverse the concept of war really is". Sadly I didn't really understand the howl tragedy back than because I thought that the soldiers just did there job.

What your teacher said bothers me, because the many of the men didn't just go back and continue fighting. Their commanders had to redeploy whole units to different areas because most of these men refused to fight those brothers they had enjoyed Christmas with.

The Christmas Truce was one of the greatest moments of humanity. At that one point, these men realised that their enemy is not a monster, and even just like them. It saddens me that the war continued for so long after that truce with millions gone, and even the very same soldiers that were celebrating together, were killing each other the next day.

It's a good moment to remember what seperates us from the ruling class. Humans naturally want to work together and be kind, but we are forced into conflict by those that we should be fighting together against. Happy Christmas:)

There is goodness in humanity. Just a little, perhaps. But enough. Sociopaths not included. Most of Humanity's greatest atrocities were committed by people with some degree of sociopathy or narcissistic personality disorder... I'm absolutely a proponent of the idea that if we removed some component of the basic Human condition, like anger or jealousy or hatred or what have you, we would be making an enormous mistake, and that our imperfections are vital parts of us functioning as Human beings... but sociopathy? If someone wanted to remove Sociopathy from Humans, I would not say no.

on this Tuesday 20 of december 2022, I a random guy, say merry christmas to all the fallen soldier from all period, merry christmas to all civilian no matter the color, the religions or where they are from and for the current Ukraine/Russia war, merry christmas to both side, War is sadly a part in the world, , no war is more horrific than an other, every war is horrible, yet without them, technollogy wouldn't have evolved that quickly, racism would be a bigger concern, and a lot of thing that I don't have in mind right now wouldn't have evolved as it is now for the greater or the worse Happy Holydays
