December 8th… ‘I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.’ ~Charles Dickens
December 9th… ‘Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.’ ~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas
December 10th… ‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ Isaiah 9:6
December 11th… ‘We hear the beating of wings over Bethlehem and a light that is not of the sun or of the stars shines in the midnight sky. Let the beauty of the story take away all narrowness, all thought of formal creeds…’ ~New York Times, 25 December 1937
December 12th… ‘Great little One! whose all-embracing birth Lifts Earth to Heaven, stoops Heaven to Earth.’ ~Richard Crashaw
December 13th… ‘Open your presents at Christmastime but be thankful year round for the gifts you receive.’ ~Lorinda Ruth Lowen
