Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
--Norman Vincent Peale
Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others, Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing, The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing, Returns to you glad.
--John Greenleaf Whittier
If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away.

The threat of Christmas hung in the air, visible already in the fretful look of passersby as they readied themselves for the meaningless but necessary rites of false jovialities and ill-considered gifts.
--Peter Dickinson, Play Dead, a mystery novel.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
