"Christmas ... is not an eternal event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart..." ~ Freya Stark ("The Wise Men" Time and Tide)

"Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show.
The secret lies in an inner glow.
It's lighting a fire inside the heart.
Good will and joy a vital part.
It's higher thought and a greater plan.
It's glorious dream in the soul of man."
~ Wilfred A. Peterson (The Art of Living)

"I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month." ~ Harlan Miller (Better Homes and Gardens)

"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." ~ Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol)
