Christmas Corner

Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself.
- Norman Wesley Brooks



I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.
- Harlan Miller



Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.
- Carol Nelson



Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body.
- Garry Moore
