The two people above are idiots. This is not based on any war story.
It's clearly a domestic situation: "All the children are tucked in their beds" and the chorus suggests there is meant to be mutual love between the people arguing:
"I love you and you love me
And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's heart"
Looking at the broader context of things, the Ramones rarely wrote about broader world situations (exceptions would be Bonzo goes to Bitburg) but wrote about their own personal situations and environments.
@elwyn5150 The meaning of this song is whatever a person decides it means...do you know what I mean? Different interpretations based on our own life experiences.

@elwyn5150 No I don't agree. We have different views and different experiences and a song can mean whatever the person deems it to mean. How can you generalize this? Everyone is not stupid for their interpretations either.

@elrem48 It is true that everybody has unique experiences and can interpret things differently. It doesn't mean that everybody is correct.

Look. Let's say I chose to interpret this song as about some belief that extraterrestrials are impregnating the population of earth by poluting the oceans with pink coloured flowers. Am I right? Am I wrong? Someone with a brain would ask what supports that crazy theory. What would back up my opinion? Is there anything in the song that mentions flowers, aliens, impregnation? Is there something substantial that indicates that the song writer had any fascination with such topics?

There is nothing here to support the World War I or II theory except the vaguest of connections. Look at the context: nothing about war, bullets, trenches. etc
