Words for thought

I have been going through some Christmas books.

"When Christmas is over," said the merchant to the minister, "it's over, and it's our job to rid this store completely of Christmas in a day."
"Well," said the minister, "I've a bigger job----to keep Christmas in the hearts of people for a lifetime."



Love came down at Christmas;
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Stars and angels gave the sign.
Christina Rossetti


Christmas is the day that holds time together.
Alexander Smith


The Light that shines from the humble manger is strong enough to lighten our way to the end of our days.
Vita-Rays


It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, , when its mighty Founder was a child himself.
Charles Dickens


I love the celebration of Jesus Christ.  His spirit is so alive and so close at Christmastime.  It's all around us.  It's wonderful!
Laura Anne Lord
