I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ~ Charles Dickens, author

The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart. ~ Helen Keller, author and activist

Whatever else be lost among the years, Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing: Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears, Let us hold close one day, remembering its poignant meaning for the hearts of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again. ~ Grace Noll Crowell, poet

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years. Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart. ~ George Mathew Adams, author

Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone. ~ Charles Schulz, cartoonist
