SHORT CHRISTMAS QUOTES FOR EVERY CHRISTMAS
There’s nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.”Erma Bombeck (1927-1996), American author and humorist.
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given–when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.” Joan Winmill Brown, American author and editor.
To the American People: Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.”Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), American president
I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays–let them overtake me unexpectedly–waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself: ‘Why this is Christmas Day!’” Ray Stannard Baker, pseud.
Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.”Dr. Seuss (1904-1991)
Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.” Larry Wilde, author ‘The Merry Book of Christmas’.
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
Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it. Richard Lamm
Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts. Janice Maeditere
It is the Christmas time:
And up and down ‘twixt heaven and earth,
In glorious grief and solemn mirth,
The shining angels climb.Dinah Maria Mulock
Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven’s making. Leigh Hunt
The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect! Charles N. Barnard
Great little One! whose all-embracing birth
Lifts Earth to Heaven, stoops Heaven to Earth.Richard Crashaw
