Christmas is surely in the air for these men as they remembered the 1914 truce in style.
British and German troops went head-to-head in a football match in Kabul with uniforms as their sidelines to commemorate the 1914 Christmas Day Truce.
The Brits, wearing red shirts, claimed a late goal to win the match 1-0, but the result was largely irrelevant.
The game of two 20-minute halves, interrupted sporadically by helicopters needing to land to offload cargo - the primary purpose of the pitch - remembered December 25 during the first year of World War One.
It was on this day that German and British soldiers climbed out of the trenches in troops famously climbed out of the trenches for unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front.
Some reports from the time say impromptu games of football broke out.
In Kabul, Germans and Brits are now on the same side as part of the Resolute Support Mission, charged with helping Afghanistan's Army against the Taliban.
The 13,000-strong Resolute Support took over from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) last year, with 980 of their personnel from Germany and 450 from Britain.
“I grew up reading about the Christmas Truce,” US Captain John Anderson, a referee for the match, told Stars and Stripes.
“It showed that even at the height of war there’s some humanity.”
Santa also paid the players a visit, arriving by helicopter on the field in Bagram.
