Christmas - This Time Of Year !

This time of year means being kind,
to everyone we meet,
To share a smile with strangers,
we may pass along the street.

 

~  Betty Black ("This Time of Year")

 

 

This is Christmas : not the tinsel, not the giving and receiving, not even the carols, but the humble heart that receives anew the wondrous gift, the Christ.

 

~  Frank McKibben

Open Your Heart For Christmas !

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.

 

~   George Mathhew Adams

Christmas - A Finest Finish of the Year !

At Christmas….
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime...

~ Edgar Guest
