Strange Holiday Movies

This one is in my rotation - not so much weird but not what people think of for Christmas Movies: Joyeux Noel.
During WWI, French, Scottish and German troops hold their own cease fire on Christmas Eve and do the unthinkable of coming out of their trenches, leaving their rifles behind to shake hands, have a drink and even play soccer (@Buzz Rules ) with the enemy.

This is something I watch every year as well. More of a documentary.
Its about the Sex Pistols and playing in front of a bunch of Fireman's Kids and giving them a great Christmas during a tough time.
The Fireman were on strike so things were not great.
The Sex Pistols were not allowed to play anywhere because they were so evil.
Sounds like a Christmas classic to me.

I have always said England should play Germany on Christmas Eve for a match for a veterans charity. (Players play that week anyway in Germany and England).
