PrincessFairy This Actually Happened In France, in December of 1914, on Christmas Eve, a group of German soldiers started singing “Stillenacht,” which we know as “Silent Night.” The English troops on the opposing side began singing along, and eventually the two groups sang several carols together in their separate languages. Then one brave soldier decided to leave the trench, with a truce flag held high, and slowly, the rest of the soldiers also moved into No Man’s Land. They exchanged Christmas greetings, played a rousing game of soccer, sang a few more songs, and yes, traded some secret goodies sent from home.
