Merry Christmas! :D

Christmas!
The very word brings joy to our hearts.
No matter how we may dread the rush,
the long Christmas lists
for gifts and cards to be bought and given--
when Christmas Day comes
there is still the same warm feeling we had as children,
the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.
~ Joan Winmill Brown

Whatever else be lost among the years,
Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing: Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears, Let us hold close one day, remembering Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again.
~ Grace Noll Crowell

From home to home,

and heart to heart,
from one place to another.
The warmth and joy of Christmas,
brings us closer to each other.
~ Emily Matthews

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









Somehow not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing returns to make you glad.
~ John Greenleaf Whittier







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 2:10-12


And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,
keeping watch of their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people.
Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you;
he is Christ the Lord.
~ Luke 2:8-11

"I will hold Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
~ Charles Dickens
