So, some folks in the media are making a big deal of what happened one hundred years ago, during WWI. From Wicker-pedia:
And then, the next day, they proceeded to recommence killing one another with renewed vigor (in one of the most bloody wars in history). Am I just too jaded and cynical? Do you really think this was, to choose a word, "darling"?
Quote:
The Christmas truce (German: Weihnachtsfrieden; French: Trêve de Noël) was a series of widespread but unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front around Christmas 1914. In the week leading up to the holiday, German and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In areas, men from both sides ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. Men played games of football with one another, giving one of the most enduring images of the truce. |
And then, the next day, they proceeded to recommence killing one another with renewed vigor (in one of the most bloody wars in history). Am I just too jaded and cynical? Do you really think this was, to choose a word, "darling"?
