And the angel said unto them, “Fear not! For, behold,I bring you tidings of great joy, Which shall be to all people. unto you is born this day in the city of David A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. – St. Luke ii
Garrison Keillor
A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.
Helen Steiner Rice
Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; Teach us to be patient and always to be kind.
Eva K. Logue
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small.
Bess Streeter Aldrich
Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart... filled it, too, with a melody that would last forever.
John Greenleaf Whittier
A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year… These make a Merry Christmas!
Norman Vincent Peale
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is.--Eric Sevareid
At Christmas I no more desire a rose,
Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled shows;
But like of each thing that in season grows.--William Shakespeare
