They played football at Christmas 1914 which was just a few months after the war started. The Germans were singing silent night (the words are in German but the tune is essentially the same), then the British began singing along. After a while both sides began to climb out of their trenches and they met in no mans land, where they played football. The commanders of the army put a stop to this as soon as they could, and for the rest of the war there was never a truce like the one at Christmas 1914.
