Since World War II it hasn't seemed as if fighting ceased on December 25th, so it seems you have a point. Take the Battle of the Bulge for example. campus.northpark.edu At midday on December 24, 16 German jet aircraft attacked a ball-bearing factory and tool-die warehouse in Ciege. They then proceeded to attack railway yards supplying the Allies. This was the first jet bomber attack in history. However, by evening, the German offensive had been halted. Their advance was less than sixty miles, at its furthest point. This was nowhere close to the seventy mile objective of the assault. The fighting grew more intense on Christmas Day, and for some weeks thereafter. The period of surprise was now gone, and the panzer armies were simply trying to blast their way through the front. Instead of beginning a retreat, more and more guns were sent forward to the Bulge. This was done in an attempt to hold what had been gained, and in order to expand the front, if possible. Not being a war strategist I do not know what may happen, but I tend to think the military isn't going to let up because of Ramadan<sp?>.
