Trenches of Northern France
8:44 PM
It was a cold winter night, everyone in the local trench was excited to celebrate Christmas. It had been a horrible few weeks, as the German Army repeatedly tried to push into their Trenches. Sights that had been seen, could not be unseen.
To make matters worse living conditions were unheard of, Diseased, muddy, dirty, rat populated Trenches.
French and British soldiers were singing Christmas Eve carols. The trench was filled with halfhearted joy, as they got ready for bed they opened early presents from their loved one and other soldiers.
They went to sleep..

Christmas Day, Trenches of Northern France
7:02 AM
It was a scene of utmost hostility as German Soldiers pointed their rifles at a French Soldier, ready to fire.
One German soldier interrupted the would-be carnage that was about to erupt.
"STOP!" He yelled.
The unknown German soldier came out of the enemy trenches, soon others followed.
They both greeted each other, almost instantly French, British and German Soldiers were coming out of their own trenches greeting their enemies.
Snow fell around the soldiers as they celebrated Christmas... Together.
They played ball, cards, and other games for hours before a loud explosion was heard in the distance.
They packed up their things and receded back into their trenches, for now they were enemies... not friendly
The following day sighted soldiers who met each other, eliminating each others lives in cold blood as explosions and gun fire coated the Battlefield.
It was times like these where when you think about it, peace was forever a myth...
