DEFCON mod: Santa's Inter-Continental Ballistic...helper?

Christmas is now just four days away, and if you haven't caught the holiday bug yet, this just might change your mind. A lot of you guys have probably heard of the Defcon RTS, famous for its war-room like nuclear gameplay. Well, given how morbid this title is - "Everybody Dies" - somebody out there decided to mod his game just in time for the holidays.

The mod converts all those nasty ICBMs the world's nuclear powers have into gifts. The player's job is to coordinate the launches so that every kid in the world gets their gift on Christmas eve...sort of a reversal of the catch phrase "Everybody Dies" into "Everybody's Happy"

Kind of funny, because this reminds us of the famous Christmas truce that happened on the eve of December 24, 1914, among the British and German troops. It was short-lived, but it does add a whole new aspect the the human side of war. We'll treat this mod the same way. Good tidings, guys.
