Christmas is when love is king,
And love can do most anything!

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.—Maria Fontaine

Why not have a birthday party for Me this year? Sing "Happy Birthday to Jesus," make a cake, blow out the candles, and tell Me how much you love Me. After all, Christmas is My birthday!—Jesus
A mother's love for her baby boy,
A sacrifice to bring others joy,
A father's care for one not his own,
A message sent from a royal throne,
A seeming wrong that was turned to right,
An angel's song in the dark of night,
A prophet's vision at last fulfilled,
A miracle because God had willed,
A gift of love from a caring heart,
A bringing together what was apart,
A reaching out to comprehend
How another felt by a sincere friend,
A seeking soul that journeyed far
To find a dream, to follow a star,
A bridegroom claiming a bride as his…
All these things are what Christmas is.
—Ian Bach
Christmas provides a part for everyone to play:
- You can be a Mary: Be willing to be whatever God wants you to be.
- You can be a Joseph: Take God at His word, even if you don't understand, and give His plan your best shot.
- You can be a shepherd: Get excited about the Good News and tell as many people as you can.
- You can be a wise man: Worship Jesus and give Him your most precious gifts.
- You can be a star: Reflect God's light and point the way to Jesus.
- You can be an angel: Loudly proclaim the good tidings. —Maria Fontaine
