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."

"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

"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."

Let Us Keep Christmas
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
It's poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.
