There's nothing sadder in this world than to
awake Christmas morning and not be a child."
Erma Bombeck
When
we recall Christmas past, we usually find that
the simplest things - not the great occasions
- give off the greatest glow of happiness."
Bob Hope
I
will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to
keep it all the year." Charles Dickens
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our
hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush,
the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards
to be bought and given--when Christmas Day
comes there is still the same warm feeling we
had as children, the same warmth that enfolds
our hearts and our homes." Joan Winmill Brown
Remember, if Christmas isn't found in your
heart, you won't find it under a tree."
Charlotte Carpenter.
To
the American People: Christmas is not a time
or a season but a state of mind. To cherish
peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy,
is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we
think on these things, there will be born in
us a Savior and over us will shine a star
sending its gleam of hope to the world."
Calvin Coolidge
Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share
our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't
make it 'white'." Bing Crosby
Christmas is the keeping-place for memories
of our innocence." Joan Mills
Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions,
a special day spent in the warm circle of
family and friends." Margaret
Thatcher
It
is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas
in the air." W. T. Ellis
Maybe
Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a
store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a
little bit more." Dr. Seuss
Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a
state of mind. - Mary Ellen Chase
I
stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was
six. Mother took me to see him in a department
store and he asked for my autograph. - Shirley
Temple
One
of the nice things about Christmas is that you
can make people forget the past with a
present. - Author Unknown
The
merry family gatherings - the old, the very
young; the strangely lovely way they harmonize
in carols sung. For Christmas is tradition
time - traditions that recall the precious
memories down the years, the sameness of them
all. - Helen Lowrie Marshall
What
is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past,
courage for the present, hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish that every cup may
overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and
that every path may lead to peace. - Agnes M.
Pharo
The
best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:
the presence of a happy family all wrapped up
in each other. - Burton Hillis (Better Homes
and Gardens)
