The Christmas Truce

from Rum Ration · host Colin and Rejoy

In 1914, during World War I, something incredible happened—soldiers on opposite sides stopped fighting to celebrate Christmas. They sang songs, shared gifts, and even played soccer in no man’s land. In this episode, we explore how this truce happened, what it was like, and why it didn’t last. It’s a story of hope and humanity during one of the darkest times in history. Cheers to history
