Based loosely on the story of the Christmas ceasefire during WW1. 

In the winter of 1915, the English and the German soldiers made an agreement on the bloody Western front: For the observance of the holidays, there will be no war on Christmas Eve or Christmas. During the treaty, the two sides joined together in songs and carols, and celebrated the birth of their Lord. They temporarily became friends. They ate together and reportedly exchanged gifts. Surprisingly, there was even a soccer match between the sides. 

This short story briefly the Christmas truce through the fictitious German soldier William Schulz. This lively and brave young man makes the feuding enemies forget about the war when sings a peaceful Christmas song.

All of this story was inspired by the song "Christmas 1915", sung by Celtic Thunder, but originally written by Jerry Lynch.

It's a Calvin Christmas like no other - singing carols, reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, and Scott burning the turkey. Yep, your typical Christmas at the Calvin household. ...Or so they thought! Annabelle Calvin, or 'Bell' for short, just turned 16 and finally gets to live with her dad, Scott Calvin, after her parents divorce. Just when she was having a Christmas movie marathon with her best friend Holly Clementine, they hear a loud thump from the roof. When they go to investigate what it was with Annabelle's younger brother Charlie, they see something they thought was only in their imagination. Suddenly, they are taken to the North Pole by none other than Santa's very own reindeers and sleigh. Once they arrive at the North Pole, they are greeted by Bernard, Head Elf No.1, and his younger brother Luke, Head Elf No.2, who tell them that Scott officially became the new Santa Claus as soon as he put on the suit. Join Annabelle and Holly as they both try to convince Scott to accept his role as the new Santa Claus, while trying not to risk having therapy sessions with Dr. 'I-Got-My-PhD-Out-Of-A-Cereal-Box', discovering romance along the way, and slowly come to terms with what their hearts really want. Also...did I mention they have the power to bring the holiday spirit to everyone around them?

❝ Wait," I say, backing away. "Let me get this straight- you're Santa Clause?" I stare at the boy no more than a couple years older than me. He had to be kidding. He rolls his eyes, his handsome face illuminated by the lights on the tree. "Well when you put it that way, I suppose." The candy cane i am sucking on falls from my lips, clattering to the floor. "B-But where's the beard, the overflowing fat and the HO HO HO?" He snorts, a charming smile on his lips as he tugs on the end of my Santa hat.
