The best of all gifts around
any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped
up in each other.

"Christmas Eve was a night
of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed
more than your body. It warmed your heart...filled it, too, with
melody that would last forever."
-- Bess Streeter Aldrich (Song of
Years)

"I sometimes think we expect too
much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears
of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like
to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year.
And thus I drift along into the holidays-let them overtake me
unexpectedly-waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to
myself: "Why this is Christmas Day!""-- David Grayson

"Christmas is not just a
day, an event to be observed and speedily forgotten. It is a spirit
which should permeate every part of our lives."
-- William Parks (Missions)
