There used to be a buzz of excitement around this time of year. Away from the thought of inedible sprouts that seemed to only be placed upon the plate with frightening regularity, the Queen’s speech having to be watched because an elderly relative once saw Her Majesty dangle a gloved hand out somewhere in Weston–Super-Mare in 1965, and the usual fights that would lead to doors slamming throughout the land because someone didn’t want to enter the Christmas spirit, one thing could unite the family and be the cause of more arguments and that was who would be Christmas No. 1.

The Truce, E.P. Review.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
It is remembered as a point in time in which Humanity gained a little perspective in a world that had gone completely and utterly insane.

The Truce was the moment in which peace broke out and man put down his weapon against all that had gone before him.
