Seven Days Before Christmas
I’ll be with you, counting down the days before Christmas 2006.
SEVEN Christmas Quotes
I’m sure you’ll just be writing ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! Lovelots, —-’ on your gift tags. Why not write a Christmas quote before your usual greeting to add more “cheer?” And well, to just be different from last year. Here, I compiled nine quotes for you to ponder on and share:
1. 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
2. I can understand people simply fleeing the mountainous effort Christmas has become… but there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress. ~May Sarton
3. There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions.
Bill McKibben
4. Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart, To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.
5. Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don’t quite know how to put our love into words.
~ Harlan Miller
6. Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you … to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old … Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world … stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death… Then you can keep Christmas! But you can never keep it alone.
Henry van Dyke
7. Christmas … is not an eternal event at all,
but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.
- Freya Stark
Well, they’re not gonna be seriously reading these quotes, at least you tried conveying messages of peace, joy, and love. Naks! Hehe!
