Don"t expect too much of Christmas Day. You can"t crowd
into it any arrears of unselfishness and kindliness that
may have accrued during the past twelve months.
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.
Christmas hath a darkness;
Brighter than the blazing noon;
Christmas hath a chillness
Warmer than the heat of June,
Christmas hath a beauty
Lovelier than the world can show:
For Christmas bringeth Jesus,
Brought for us so low
Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past
forgotten and his present remembered. What I don"t
like about office Christmas parties is looking for
a job the next day.
