Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

At Christmas
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime...
~Edgar Guest

Happy,
happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish
days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that
can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away,
back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith

I
have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a
good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of,
in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent
to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them
as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another
race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens

Instead
of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time
in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express
their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps,
foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be
himself. ~Francis C. Farley

When
we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things -
not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness. ~Bob

Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance - each beautiful, unique and too soon gone. ~Deborah Whipp

It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when its mighty Founder was a child Himself. ~Charles Dickens
 |

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
