We hear heart warming stories about "truces" during The Great War but what about during the American Revolutionary War?
Responses about the Nepoleonic Wars or others would be interesting as well!
Christmas night 1776 General Washington crossed the Delaware river to mount a surprise attack on Hessian mercenaries in Trenton New Jersey. Not the heart warming story you were looking for but a Christmas story none the less. Edit: The following year Washington's Army was at winter quarters in Valley Forge where roughly half of his forces were sick/injured/or dying.
