A
few “wise words” from writers about Christmas.
Happy Christmas everyone!
“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.
