Milhist: See this story for a rather eerie description of the 1914 (first year WWI) Christmas true. Good, brief account.

The last person alive at that Christmas 1914 event was a Scottish soldier who died a few weeks ago.

They just had the WWI Christmas truce on the History channel. I made my 8 year old daughter watch it for awhile. Gotta give her credit - she sat through 20 minutes of it (and my explanations!) before she asked if she could watch Sponge Bob (and I let her).
