Christmas is my favorite holiday. I look forward each year to putting up my tree, decorating with red and green, listening to Charlie Brown christmas music, admiring neighborhoods where each house is decorated with colorful lights..the list goes on. To celebrate this Christmas with all you Note Project supporters and fellow bloggers, I thought I’d share some Christmas quotes. Even though I know we don’t all celebrate Christmas, I think these quotes could go for any holiday.
“Christmas gift suggestions: to your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” -Oren Arnold
“Christmas is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it’s Christmas.” -Dale Evans
“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.” -Burton Hillis
“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.” -Charles Shulz
“The way you spend Christmas is far more important than how much.” -Henry David Thoreau
“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.” -Laura Ingalls Wilder
Be sure to a grab a copy of Wise Men and Other Stories from Dream of Things. The book is full of wonderful short stories by Mike O’Mary. One of my favorites is Heaven; a story about my dad and I around Christmastime. We got lost trying to find a neighborhood he had heard about that was all decked out in Christmas lights. I was little, so in and out of falling asleep, we had a pretty interesting and meaningful conversation. It’s a great story to share year round, but especially this time of year.
Have a great time this Christmas with your families and be sure to celebrate a Happy New Year!
