I had never heard this story, but it's true. US and German soldiers lost in the Battle Of The Bulge had Christmas dinner together rather than killing each other, all due to a good German Hausfrau who had had enough of war on Christmas. You have to jump ahead to around 6:30 for the story - before that, it's mincemeat pie recipe from the WWII US Army Field Cookbook (which also seems pretty interesting).
And while it's not (quite) Christmas yet, Hans Gruber is fixin' to fall off of Nakatomi Plaza.
