Lets Not Fight This Christmas The kids are up and at 'em, They're up before the sun Running round the bedroom now that Christmas has begun. I'm dragged down to the front room to sit beside the tree, We're opening the presents that Santa's brought for me. They call to tell their Mother, its Christmas and that Dad, Has said to come round to see the presents that they've had. Church bells ringing, choirs are singing. She's awkward in the kitchen, It used to be her home. The turkey's in the oven and I'm sitting on my throne. I hear the family quibble, I try to keep it calm. She said a friend had seen me with a young girl on my arm. Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's not fight this Christmas, all we need is here. The kids are in their bedrooms, We're watching the TV. She's on the other sofa, I want to fall asleep. We've come this far together, In a day of measured truce, Eastenders on the telly, And then it's time for Bruce. Church bells ringing, choirs are singing. Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's not fight this Christmas, all we need is here. Heading home for Christmas time (Let's not fight) Heading home for Christmas time. (Let's not fight) Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's not fight this Christmas, all we need is here. Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's find hope this Christmas, And spread that Christmas cheer. Let's not fight.
The song, "Silent Night/Stille Nacht" is the song most associated with the December 1914 Christmas Truces. However, there were many instances of truce along the Western Front, and a wide variety of hymns were sung. One participant stated that "O Come All Ye Faithful" was the hymn which started both sides singing together in his area. Other songs were "God Save the King", "Deutschland Uber Alles", and "It's a Long Way To Tipperary".
during a naval battle the two fought each other ( Battle of Erash). Both exhausted their resources and called a truce. from there on they fought as partners.
Because snoop dogg isn't a real crip no more he's changed he's workin with Katy perry or its cuz possibly snoop dogg is down with bloods and crips in gangbangin 101 by snoop n the game there like makin a truce that could be why he is wearin red now i'v lost all my respect for snoop dogg tho Ive also heard that it was in relations to cheech and choch, which makes sense because chong's always wearing that red bandana and old raggedy lookin blue long sleeve. Either way I think it gives him a bad rep, I lost my respect as well,.its still the moral.
"Wavin' Flag" (Celebration Re-mix) is the adaption to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The original song, performed by K'naan, was selected as the Coca-Cola anthem for the World Cup. However, the Coca-Cola company noted the song's negative lyrics, referring to "wars...poor people zone...struggling to fight...for food..." and decided that they did not fit with the spirit of the World Cup. They decided to change some of the lyrics to go with the World Cup. K'naan is stated as saying that the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games are the only times where his original song's lyrics do not apply. The World Cup is a time where countries forget their prior conflicts and come together, to compete for the cup. In retrospect to this, Mexico was having another Civil War (which was also dubbed as a Drug War). When the FIFA World Cup was around the corner, both sides agreed to a truce, and came together to compete in the World Cup. It is believed that the Mexican National Football Team (which competed in the cup) contains players on both sides of the conflict.

It is generally believed that the Christmas Truce began among enlisted men who, in the first year of the war, were less battle-hardened and more inured to civilian life than they would be later.
