Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself.
- Norman Wesley Brooks

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.
- Eric Sevareid

Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.
- Carol Nelson

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.
- Alexander Smith
