Under Første Verdenskrigs første jul blev der især på Vestfronten etableret "julefred" mellem de kæmpende skyttegrave, i form af våbenhvile, fraternisering, fællessang og endog forsøg på fodboldkampe.

During the Christmas days of the first World War's first winter, there were widespread incidents mostly on the Western Front of truce, fraternization and even attempts to organize football matches. See our link collection Christmas - Articles, stories and websites in English
