PUEBLO, Colo. — The United Nations announced today that the Christmas holidays have prompted a brief ceasefire between warring factions of Tedesco kids.

“For a miraculous few days, there was no bickering, no crying, no poking, and no pushing,” said United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who brokered the peace treaty. “It truly is a Christmas miracle.”

According to a peace accord signed by all parties in the home of Mike and Caitlin Tedesco, their daughter Maddy agreed to end all hostilities with her little brother, Cooper, unless he crosses the demilitarized zone into her room.

In the home of Paul and Georgia Tedesco, munchkins Lili, Gigi and Cole agreed to briefly smile and hug each other during a picture-taking session in front of the Christmas tree. After the picture was taken, the children immediately went back to DEFCON 1.
