Front page of the December 31, 1914, edition of the London Daily Mail. The headline deck reads “Snowballs and jokes with the foe.”
In the year 1914 soldiers from the English & German forces held a ceasefire in order to celebrate Christmas. Famously, the two sides left their trenches and became friends for a whole day and night, playing football and behaving as brothers as opposed to enemies.
May this memory live on, and live again in time. No More Brother Wars

Chased down by a pack of hounds before being torn apart alive at a Boxing Day fox hunt today.
Let’s face the facts: illegal fox hunting is rife in the British countryside, despite firm public opposition.
@ZacGoldsmith, when will you strengthen the hunting ban? @Lukesteele4
