Christmas Quotes

'Christmas day is a day of joy and charity. May God make you very rich in both.'
Phillips Brooks

'Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.'
Charles Schulz

'Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show.
The secret lies in an inner glow.
It's lighting a fire inside the heart.
Good will and joy a vital part.
It's higher thought and a greater plan.
It's glorious dream in the soul of man.'
Wilfred A. Peterson

'Christmas is sights, especially the sights of Christmas reflected in the eyes of a child.'
William Saroyan

'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

'When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to
God for filling our stockings with legs?'
G.K. Chesterton

'I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.'
Harlan Miller

'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

'Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.'
Lenore Hershey

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.'
Clement C. Moore

'Peace on earth will come to stay, When we live Christmas every day.'
Helen Steiner Rice

'Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display--so much tinsel and decorations.
For it isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of
men when the Christmas spirit returns again.'
Unknown

'Good news from heaven the angels
bring,
Glad tidings to the earth they sing:
To us this day a child is given,
To crown us with the joy of heaven.'
Martin Luther
