“I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas
Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the
whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all
through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays — let them overtake
me unexpectedly — waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself:
‘Why, this is Christmas Day!’” ~ David Grayson (journalist and
biographer)
“As long as we know in our hearts
what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is.”~Eric Sevareid (longtime CBS News
reporter, novelist and essayist)
“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 (written when
she was a magazine editor in Kansas before her Little House days)
And a few words from me: May
Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through.
