Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.
- Lenora Mattingly Weber

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

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
