British Empire's POV
Late on Christmas Eve 1914, I heard Germany in the trenches singing carols and patriotic songs and saw lanterns and small fire trees along their trenches.
"Silent night, holy night
All is calm, and all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace" Germany said
It was very nice to see and hear. He then said, "Are you the Rifle Brigade" "Yes" I answered. "Have you a spare bottle?" "Yes" "If so we will come halfway and you come the other half." Soldiers from both sides put down their weapons and stepped out of their trenches and the enemy really did meet the enemy between the trenches. For a short time, there was finally peace.
No one's POV
The following day, the Entente and Central Powers soldiers met in no man's land and exchanged gifts, took photographs, and played games of football.
"I never thought that we would have a truce this Christmas due to the war. This is the best!" Alsace–Lorraine said.
"I know!" Paris said
"We are very lucky to spend Christmas and have a truce. These things are very rare." France said
"I'm glad that at least we could at least have a little rest," UK said
"Who wants to play Football?" London said. Everyone said yes. "So much for having a little rest..." UK replied.
