But across the seas two armies stare down at each other's guns, each believing in their cause enough to die or kill the other one. But tonight there'll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill, they will cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and goodwill. (D. Matthews / K. Worsham / S. Baccus / S.
