Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise.

Santa Claus has the right idea - visit people only once a year.

I love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body.

The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young, the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung.

Expectancy is the atmosphere for miracles.

The real evidence for Jesus and Christianity is in how Jesus and the Christianity based on him manifest themselves in the lives of practicing Christians.

Every gift which is given, even though is be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.

I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
