Christmas truce

The , also known as the Christmas Armistice, (TV: Twice Upon a Time) of 25 December 1914 was a near-mythical event in World War I. (PROSE: This Town Will Never Let Us Go) For Christmas, British and German soldiers temporarily ceased fighting to play football against each other, share cigarettes, and pass around photographs of loved ones in the No Man's Land. (COMIC: The Weeping Angels of Mons) The Ninth Doctor served as a referee for one of the football matches (COMIC: The Forgotten)

The celebrations were witnessed by the First Doctor, Steven Taylor, and Sara Kingdom; (PROSE: The Little Drummer Boy) the Fifth Doctor and Peri Brown; (PROSE: Never Seen Cairo) and the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. (COMIC: The Forgotten) The next day, soldiers resumed fighting. (PROSE: The Little Drummer Boy)

Which side won the football match remained a matter of contention even into the 21st century. (PROSE: This Town Will Never Let Us Go)
