Merry Christmas!

There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries. ~W.J. Cameron



Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836



Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder




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