~ Christmas makes me happy no matter what time of year it comes around. ~ ~ Christmas is the day that holds all time together. ~ ~ For the spirit of Christmas fulfils the greatest hunger of mankind. ~ ~ Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year -- and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~ ~ Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others, Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing, The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing, Returns to you glad. ~ ~ Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death - and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas.
~ ~ I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the word seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.
~ ~ The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others' burdens, easing other's loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of Christmas.
~ ~ Whatever else be lost among the years, Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing: Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears, Let us hold close one day, remembering Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again.
~ ~ 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.
~ ~ May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~ ~ May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~ ~ And so, this Christmas season
may our hearts with gladness glow,
As we read the blessed story
That took place so long ago. ~ ~ The Christmas spirit--love--changes hearts and lives. ~ ~ "A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!" ~ ~ Love came down at Christmas; love all lovely, love divine; love was born at Christmas, stars and angels gave the sign. ~ ~ Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand. ~ ~ Green Christmas, white Easter ~ ~ I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year. ~ ~ A three-year-old gave this reaction to her Christmas dinner: "I don't like the turkey, but I like the bread he ate." ~ ~ Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall ~ ~ Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~ ~ It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home for Christmas. ~ ~ I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that. ~ ~ Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. ~ ~ At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year. ~ ~ I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month. ~ ~ My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that? ~ ~ A goose never voted for an early Christmas. ~ ~ I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
