"I have dependably considered Christmas time, when it has come round, as a decent time; a kind, excusing, magnanimous time; the main time I am aware of, in the long logbook of the year, when men and ladies appear by one agree to open their quiets down hearts uninhibitedly, and to consider individuals underneath them as though they truly
were kindred travelers to the grave, and not another race of animals bound on different voyages." ~Charles Dickens
"Christmas is everlasting, not for only one day,
for adoring, sharing, giving, are not to secure
like ringers and lights and tinsel, in some crate upon a rack.
The great you accomplish for others is great you do yourself… "
~Norman Wesley Brooks (U.S. configuration design, 1923–2002)
"Give Every Day A chance to be Christmas," 1976
