The christmas truce was an unofficial truce, proposed by the soldiers from both sides. On that day British soldiers saw lots of movements and lights on the German side, and they thought that they are going to attack, but instead of gun fire the British heard Christmas carol sang by the Germans. Later that day the British replied by singing some of the carols in English, hence starting the Christmas truth between them. On Dec. 25th 1914, a British officer in the name of Charles, he ran out to the no mans land and then a German officer came out and the Christmas truce started. Both sides play soccer, share stories for the whole time. The Christmas truce ended a few days later, both sides fire ceremonial shots to signify the restart of the war. One interesting fact the British hold up a sign saying Merry Christmas, and then the Germans replied with thankyou.
