1. "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 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."

2. "Christmas Eve was a night of song
that wrapped itself about you like a
shawl. But it warmed more than
your body. It warmed your
heart...filled it, too, with melody
that would last forever."
-- BESS STREETER ALDRICH (SONG OF YEARS)

3. So remember while December
Brings the only Christmas day,
In the year let there be Christmas
In the things you do and say.
-- Anonymous

4. Until one feels the spirit of Christmas,
there is no Christmas. All else is
outward display-so much tinsel and
decorations. For it isn't the holly, it isn't
the snow. It isn't the tree not the
firelight's glow. It's the warmth that
comes to the hearts of men when the
Christmas spirit returns again.
-- Anonymous

5. Don't expect too much of
Christmas Day. You can't crowd into
it any arrears of unselfishness and
kindliness that may have accrued
during the past twelve months.
-- Oren Arnold

6. 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

7. There's nothing sadder in this
world than to awake Christmas
morning and not be a child.
-- Erma Bombeck

8. The earth has grown old with its
burden of care. But at Christmas it
always is young, The heart of the jewel
burns lustrous and fair. And its soul full
of music breaks the air, When the song
of angels is sung.
-- Phillips Brooks

9. I will honour Christmas in my
heart, and try to keep it all the
year.
-- Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol)

10. It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.
Merry Christmas to everybody!
A happy New Year to all the world!
Dr. Pedro A. Ricart Reyes
