Christmas Corner

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 remembrance – a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
- Augusta E. Rundel



Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
- Hamilton Wright Mabi



To celebrate the heart of Christmas is to forget ourselves in the service of others.
- Henry C. Link



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