Christmas Wishes

Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself... - Norman Wesley Brooks

Christmas is not a one day wonder. It is about all the little things you do everyday for people around you, it is more about the love and happiness you spread around you. Christmas begins in our hearts and remains with us forever. 

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 hearts possessing,
Returns to you glad.
- John Greenleaf Whittier

Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.

- Steve Maraboli

Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given - when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.

- Joan Winmill Brown

Christmas is the day that holds all time together. - Alexander Smith

Shakespeare had written "time is a winged Chariot". True to every word, time waits for none. So, let this Christmas not pass by without being close to your dear ones. Time will pass but happy memories will always remain together, binding you to your loved ones even when you are far. 

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near,
A little gift from one held dear,
Best wishes for the coming year,
These make a Merry Christmas!

- John Greenleaf Whittier

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years. Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.

~ George Mathhew Adams

Let Christmas not become a thing
Merely of merchant's trafficking,
Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
And surface pleasure, but beneath
The childish glamour, let us find
Nourishment for soul and mind.
Let us follow kinder ways
Through our teeming human maze,
And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer's martyrdom.

~ Madeline Morse

"Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly Merry Christmas." - Peg Bracken
