The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.

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.

Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'.

Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.
