"The way you spend Christmas is far more important than how much" — Henry David Thoreau

How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.

At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year.

Good news from heaven the angels bring, glad tidings to the earth they sing: to us this day a child is given, to crown us with the joy of heaven.

The good part of Christmas is not always Christian, it is generally Pagan; that is to say, human, natural.

Henry David Thoreau Quote
