The Christmas truce was a sign that people can get along under the fiercest and most brutal conditions. Not only did the country’s share cigarettes, play cards, and play football, the most manliest soldiers song Christmas carols with each other. As the Germans started off the truce they gave the British some chocolate cake, with a note saying proposing to give the British a concert and for them to cease fire. Then surprised British accepted the offer, they returned the offer by giving the Germans tobacco. All of a sudden the Germans started singing Christmas songs and British joined in and from there the Christmas truce went all through different trenches.
