Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!
~ Hamilton Wright Mabie

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
~ Unknown

At Christmas
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime ...
~ Edgar Guest

I love the Christmas-tide, and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give!
~ Carolyn Wells

As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is.
~ Eric Sevareid

They err who thinks Santa Claus comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart.
~ Mrs. Paul M. Ell

When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things—not the great occasions—give off the greatest glow of happiness.
~ Bob Hope

Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance—each beautiful, unique and too soon gone.
~ Deborah Whipp

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.
