The earth has grown old with its burden of care, But at Christmas it always is young.
- Phillips Brooks

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
- Charles Dickens

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. Pahro

Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body.
- Garry Moore
