Alternate Christmas truces

Where in other conflicts could there exist the chance for men to show goodwill to each other on Christmas, the most appropriate time for such things? An alternate Eastern front? Falklands? Let's see what we can come up with.
 
I thought this said "alternate Christmas trees."

Spruce would be very nice, don't you think?

Maybe during the American Civil War?

After which, both sides cease to fight and come together to attack somone who's left their decorations up after 12th Day.

(Hey, it's no dafter than what happened in Harry Harrison's 'Stars & Stripes!):D
 
There was a limited short lived truce in Vietnam in 1966.

Effectively there may have been a de facto truce in December in that there may have been no hostilities in the phoney war so a truce may have been feasible then. The behaviour of the Japanese in Honk Kong suggests that there would have been none in December 1941.It may be more complicated where one of both sides doesn't recognise Christmas as in Afganistan but maybe a Christmas truce could be reciprocated with a Eid one. In 1914 the war was still a novelty maybe there could have been ones with Turkey in the Middle East as there is a Christian element in Turkey. The Eastern front may have had complication owing to the Orthodox Christmas being later.
