Today’s quotes sum up much of what I feel is at the core of the Christmas holiday season and spirit…
“I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world.” (Norman Vincent Peale)
“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” (Calvin Coolidge)
“Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting.” (Thomas S. Monson)
“The is Christmas: not the tinsel, not the giving and receiving, not even the carols, but the humble heart that receives anew the wondrous gift, the Christ.” (Frank McKibben)
“Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.” (Dr. Seuss)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
