Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.
Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.
Remember this December, that love weighs more than gold!

Christmas! 'The season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial fire of charity in the heart.
It 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 .It renews our youth by stirring our wonder. The capacity for wonder has been called our most pregnant human faculty, for in it are born our art, our science, our religion.
When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow,
We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago,
And etched on vacant places
Are half-forgotten faces
Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.

And etched on vacant places
Are half-forgotten faces
Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.
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.
Let Us Keep 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
It's poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
