Armistice Day and Christmas in one song.

Armistice Day (which overlaps with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day) is celebrated every year on 11 November to commemorate the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.

After World War II, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day in the United States and to Remembrance Day in the countries of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Armistice Day remains an official holiday in France and Belgium. From 2012, Armistice Day is an official holiday in Serbia.

During the first Christmas of WWI German soldiers are heard by British troops singing "Silent Night" (in its original German). The British troops respond by writing in mud on a piece of wood "Merry Xmas" and raise it above their heads in their trench so the Germans could see it. The British troops yelled out "Merry Christmas, Fritz!" The German troops responded, "Merry Christmas, Tommy". Soon, one brave German soldier walked across No Man's Land with his empty palms up, and a single British soldier climbed out of his trench to greet him. They shook hands. Then troops from both sides poured out of their trenches along the western front and celebrated Christmas as friends. An amazing and touching event.
