What is Christmas? It
is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the
future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings
rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
Agnes M. Pharo
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.
Calvin Coolidge
There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Carrie Fisher
The spirit of Christmas is-and hopefully always will be-about goodwill and generosity to others and peace on earth.

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