"He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree." ~Roy L. Smith

"
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens

"
There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries." ~W.J. Cameron


"
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


"May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!" ~Author Unknown


"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." ~Charles Dickens

"Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish.

"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air." ~W.T. Ellis

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love! ~Hamilton Wright Mabie


"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." ~Author unknown, attributed to a 7-year-old named Bobby


"Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself..."
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
