If only all the soldiers on both sides would've thrown down their weapons and went home

My favorite by far. Germany probably won on penalty kicks, if history has anything to do with the outcome.

If you have Netflix or pay per view. Joyeux Noel.
quote:
Joyeux Noël (English: Merry Christmas) is a 2005 French film about the World War I Christmas truce of December 1914, depicted through the eyes of French, Scottish and German soldiers. It was written and directed by Christian Carion.[2] It was screened out of competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[3]
The film, which included one the last appearances of Ian Richardson before his death, was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 78th Academy Awards. It is a fictionalized account of an actual event that took place in December 1914 when Wilhelm, German Crown Prince, sent the lead singer of the Berlin Imperial Opera company on a solo visit to the front line. Singing by the tenor, Walter Kirchhoff, to the 120th and 124th Württemberg regiments led French soldiers in their trenches to stand up and applaud.[4

Heartwarming story.
I had heard this before. But good to refresh my mind.
Such tumult in the world today, gives one hope.
Thanks to the OP for the reminder ...100 years ago today.
