I wish that the spirit of Christmastide may draw you into companionship with Him Who giveth all. Come, let us adore Him.
Christmas is a time for merriment of heart. It’s a time to reflect with thanksgiving on all the good the past year has brought. It’s a time to be grateful for the love Heaven has sent into our lives.
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. If only for one short day, ill-will is set aside, and the effect upon our lives is miraculous.
The most important part about "Christmas" is the first six letters.
We hear the Christmas angels,
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
Somehow not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
O Holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray. Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today.
What a wonder of Love that a tiny helpless babe should encase the very presence of God amongst men! Open your heart to Him and this will be a Christmas to remember.
Christmas is love. The purest form of love is the giving of one’s self for another. That’s what happened that first Christmas night, and what we should try to recreate every Christmas.
Let this Christmas season be a renewing of the mind of Christ in our thinking, and a cleansing of our lives by His pure presence. Let His joy come to our weary World through us.
Christmas is a time to see the world with eyes of love. It’s a time to remember that the world is made up of people like us, and to see them for who they are inside.
There is no soul insignificant enough to be forgotten and left unaffected by the Christmas beauty we have to share. And even if it is only one person whom we touch, at least it is one person's life that will be changed for eternity.
Jesus is God spelling Himself out in language that man can understand.
Christmas is a gift from God that a man cannot keep until he gives it to someone else.
God grant you the light in Christmas, which is faith; the warmth of Christmas, which is love; the radiance of Christmas, which is purity; the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice; the belief of Christmas, which is truth; the all of Christmas, which is Christ.
Christmas is a time for giving, not swapping: Giving up sin, giving in to Christ and giving out to our fellow man that we might meet him in his need.
The hinge of history is on the door of a Bethlehem stable.
You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father's face and tell Him you have received His Christmas Gift.
The blessedness of Christmas is all wrapped up in the Person of Jesus. Our relationship determines the measure of the blessing.
Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the World--stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death--and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem two thousand years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas.
Christmas brings new hope and courage, as through the darkness, the Christmas star shines its promise of God's unfailing Love.
Though Jesus came into the world as a tiny baby, He brought with Him all of God’s wonderful gifts. As He grew older, He unwrapped these gifts for us, one by one, by teaching us how to love God and each other.
Christmas is a season of sharing moments and memories that will be cherished for years to come.
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts: The Gift of God to Man--His unspeakable Gift of His Son; and the gift of Man to God--when we present our bodies as a living sacrifice and first give ourselves to God. No one has kept or can keep Christmas until he has had a part in this two-way transaction.
Christmas is the day that holds all time together.
