Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent PealeChristmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home. ~Carol NelsonHe who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. SmithI 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 DickensChristmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~W.J. CameronThe best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton HillisOne of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly. ~Andy RooneyHappy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries. ~W.J. Cameron'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale;'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;A Christmas gambol oft could cheerThe poor man's heart through half the year.~Walter ScottChristmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves. ~Eric SevareidOur 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 WilderMay Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~Author UnknownI will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ~Charles DickensTags: christmas greetings, christmas wishes, christmas quotes, christmas greetings messages, christmas messages, christmas cards
