Christmas Corner

The Christmas spirit - love - changes hearts and lives.
- Pat Boone



Christmas is the keeping-place for memories of our innocence.
- Joan Mills



Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first.
- George Matthew Adams



Christmas is the happiness that lights our children's eyes.
Christmas is a song of bells ringing through the skies.
Christmas is a time of peace, of contentment deep within,
A time of love and silent hope that years will never dim.
