"It was always said of him, that
he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed
the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And
so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless Us, Every One!"

"And the angel said unto
them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great
joy, Which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And
this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
--St. Luke ii. 10-12

"It comes every year and will go
on forever. And along with Christmas belong the keepsakes and
the customs. Those humble, everyday things a mother clings to,
and ponders, like Mary in the secret spaces of her heart."--Marjorie Holmes

"I heard the bells on Christmas
Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
