CHRISTMAS ...

       Those who lived in darkness, 

                       have seen a great light !

Some Christmas quotes for you:

Christmas in Bethlehem. 

The ancient dream: a cold, clear night 

made brilliant by a glorious star,

the smell of incense, shepherds and 

wise men falling to their knees in adoration 

of the sweet baby, 

the incarnation of perfect love.

Lucinda Franks

A lovely thing about Christmas is 

that it's compulsory, 

like a thunderstorm, 

and we all go through it together.

Garrison Keillor

Christmas is a season for kindling 

the fire for hospitality in the hall, 

and the flame of charity in the heart.

Washington Irving

“In Christmas, God reveals Himself 

not as one who stands above and 

who dominates the universe, 

but as He who lowers himself.” 

  Pope Francis

Unless we make Christmas 

an occasion to share our blessings, 

all the snow in Alaska 

won't make it 'white'.

Bing Crosby

And, my favorite: 

It's true, Christmas can feel 

like a lot of work, 

particularly for mothers. 

But when you look back 

on all the Christmases in your life, 

you'll find you've 

created family traditions 

and lasting memories. 

Those memories, good and bad, 

are really what help to keep a family 

together 

over the long haul.

Caroline Kennedy

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALL !!!
