God grant you the light in Christmas, which is faith;

the warmth of Christmas, which is love;

the radiance of Christmas, which is purity;

the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice;

the belief in Christmas, which is truth;

the all of Christmas, which is Christ.

Wilda English

Christmas ….

That magic blanket that wraps itself about us,

that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance.

It may weave a spell of nostalgia.

Christmas may be a day of feasting or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remebrance

- a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.

Augusta E. Rundel

What is Christmas…..

It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.

It is a fervant wish that every cup may ocverflow with blessings rich and eternal,

and that every path may lead to peace.

Agnes M. Pharo

“Rings and jewels are not gifts,but apologies for gifts.  The only true gift is a portion of thyself.” Emerson

What Can I give Him, poor as I am

If  I were a shepherd I would give a lamb. 

If I were a wise man I would dio my part.

Yet what can I guive Him?  Give my heart.

Christina Rossetti
