25 December 1914. A hundred years ago on Christmas during the first year of the First World War on the Western Front, German and English soldiers who had been fighting each other until then, stepped out of their trenches and met on No Mans Land. They exchanged gifts, wished each other a Merry Christmas, played football and sang carols together. They got back to fighting the next day. But in the midst of the most bitter conflict known in history, they still found the time and grace to be human. To give. To laugh Even with people trying to kill them For me, THATs Christmas.
