all that comes.

- And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.

What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. – Dr. Seuss
- Have you any old grudges you would like to pay,
Any wrongs laid up from a bygone day?
Gather them now and lay them away

And life is short from beginning to end;
Be kind to yourself, leave nothing to mend
When Christmas comes.
– William Lytle (“When Christmas Comes”)
- Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat,
Please to put a penny in an old man’s hat;
If you haven’t got a penny a ha’penny will do,
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, God bless you.”

- Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others,
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing,
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart’s possessing,
Returns to you glad.
– John Greenleaf Whittier
- God grant you the light in Christmas, which is faith;
the warmth of Christmas, which is love;
the radiance of Christmas, which is purity;
the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice;
the belief in Christmas, which is truth;
the all of Christmas, which is Christ.
– Wilda English
- If we think of our heart,
rather than our purse,
as the reservoir
of our giving,
we shall find it
full all the time!
