"The universal joy of Christmas is certainly wonderful. We ring the bells when princes are born, or toll a mournful dirge when great men pass away. Nations have their red-letter days, their carnivals and festivals, but once a year and only once, the whole world stands still to celebrate the advent of a life. Only Jesus of Nazareth claims this worldwide, undying remembrance. You cannot cut Christmas out of the calendar, nor out of the heart of the world..."
~Anonymous

"It is Christmas in the mansion,
Yule-log fires and silken frocks;
It is Christmas in the cottage,
Mother's filling little socks.
It is Christmas on the highway,
In the thronging, busy mart;
But the deares, trues Christmas,
Is the Christmas in the heart..."
~Anonymous
"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
"Symbolizing eternal hope,
the wreath goes 'round and 'round,
And where it starts or ends
cannot be found.
Woven of things that grow for life,
and hung for holiday delight.
The wreath must be left in place.
From Advent through Twelfth Night..."
~Anonymous
"The wonderful world of Christmas
is a joy from the moment it starts.
The wonderful world of Christmas
should remain ev'ry day in our hearts..."

"There's a bit more more to Christmas
than the making of frivolity and cheer.
It's a time to honor and give thanks
for our blessings of friendship and family throughout a New Year.
We celebrate sweet words, and good deeds
and another chance to be kind
For Christmas is about the Prince of Peace
and God's love for all mankind..."

Lord May I Be an Instrument of thy Peace...
Where there is hatred, May I Be Loving...
Where there is injury, May I bring Healing...
Where there is doubt, May I be Faithful...
And where there is darkness, May I bring Lightness...
Divine Creator, through unselfish Love,
May I choose to bring Compassion...
May I choose to bring Understanding...
May I choose to show Unconditional Love...
Above all, may I choose to see your Divinity,
within all Others and within Myself...
May I Surrender, to the ultimate power of you're Divine Love...
Knowing that this truly is the Path to Enduring Freedom...
and Everlasting Life... Amen...
based on the "Prayer of St Francis"
