There was a movie done about this event called "Joyeux Noel." There is also a a song called"Christmas in the Trenches" by John McCutchen. If you download the song from Itunes be sure to get the long version that was recorded at Wolftrap. He tells the story of actually meeting some of the German men who were there at the time.
