King and Country toy makers thought enough of the truce to create this Christmas edition several years ago, these guys celebrate the season from our collector cabinet year round. Reading about the Christmas Truce gives me hope, no matter how large or small the actual event was, it was a wonderment it happened at all.

The computer game Verdun: 1914-1918 has added a map that I believe will be available for the next two weeks. It features the truce. Here are some screenshots:
