quotations about Christmas
What kind of Christmas present would Jesus ask Santa for?
SALMAN RUSHDIE
Fury
Whatever else be lost among the years, Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing;
Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears,
Let us hold close one day, remembering
Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.
GRACE NOLL CROWELL
attributed, The Poetry of Faith
Taking into account the present preparations for Christmas, and the time it takes to recover from it, we are beginning--are we not?--to consider it one of the most serious events of modern life.
CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER
"The Burden of Christmas", As We Were Saying
God rest ye, little children; let nothing you afright,
For Jesus Christ, your Saviour, was born this happy night;
Along the hills of Galilee the white blocks sleeping lay,
When Christ, the child of Nazareth, was born on Christmas day.
DINAH CRAIK
"Christmas Carol"
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
NORMAN VINCENT PEALE
attributed, A Chicken Soup for the Soul Christmas
Department store Santas are apparently being trained to lower children’s expectations about toys because of the recession. Yeah, it’s weird when you ask Santa for a train set and he’s like, ‘Yeah, how ‘bout a bus token?’

When you with velvets mantled o'er,
Defy December's tempests frore,
Oh! spare one garment from your store,
To clothe the poor at Christmas.
WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER
