    Summary
    By Christmas 1914 soldiers from the Allied and German armies had dug-in along a trench system reaching from Switzerland to the North Sea. On Christmas Eve the guns fell silent. The following morning - Christmas Day - troops on both sides climbed from their trenches and met together in No-Man's-Land, between the battle lines. They shared drinks, played football, embraced, exchanged presents and sang carols. This spontaneous truce was observed in several places along the Western Front, but by no means everywhere. The following day - Boxing Day - the fighting began once again.

    Reflection
    The Christmas Truce shows us that we are all human. It asks us to treat others with the kindness and respect we ourselves deserve, to share with them and to show good will towards all people. It shows the power of the Christmas 'message'. As you watch, think to yourselves quietly what the power of the Christmas message means to you...
