Christmas - A Great Festival !

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.

Christmas - Feel in Heart !

When Christmas Comes.....

Have you any old grudges you would like to pay,
Any wrongs laid up from a bygone day?
Gather them now and lay them away
When Christmas comes.
Hard thoughts are heavy to carry, my friend,
And life is short from beginning to end;
Be kind to yourself, leave nothing to mend
When Christmas comes.
 
 
~ William Lytle ("When Christmas Comes")

Christmas - Bridge of Time Flow

Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past. Today's Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.

Spirit of Christmas !

It is the personal thoughtfulness, the warm human awareness, the reaching out of the self to one's fellow man that makes giving worthy of the Christmas spirit.

Keeping Christmas !

There is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day, and that is, keeping Christmas.
