Merry X'mas

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
~ Agnes M. Pharo


The merry family gatherings-- The old, the very young; The strangely lovely way they Harmonize in carols sung. For Christmas is tradition time, Traditions that recall the precious memories down the years, The sameness of them all.
~ Helen Lowrie Marshall


The star of Bethlehem was a star of hope that led the wise men to the fulfillment of their expectations, the success of their expedition. Nothing in this world is more fundamental for success in life than hope, and this star pointed to our only source for true hope: Jesus Christ.
~ D. James Kennedy ("Following the Star" in Christmas Stories for the Heart)


The only blind person at Christmas time is he who has not Christmas in his heart.
~ Helen Keller
