The Christmas spirit - love - changes hearts and lives.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
- Charles Dickens



It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.
- William Turner Ellis



Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.
