Christmas Greetings

Christmas is a time when you get homesick – even when you’re home.

Christmas is for children.
But it is for grown-ups too.
Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare,
It is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.

Christmas is forced upon a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press;
On its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred.

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
For loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
Like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…

Christmas is not a time nor a season,
But a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill,
To be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

Christmas is not a time nor a season,
But a state of mind.
To cherish peace and goodwill,
To be plenteous in mercy,
Is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

Christmas is not an eternal event at all, but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.

Christmas is the Blessed season
Which engages the whole world
In a conspiracy of love!

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.
