"Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas."
Ronald Reagan
"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."
Calvin Coolidge
"Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit."
Kin Hubbard
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old, familiar carols play. And wild and sweet the words repeat. Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"There is a remarkable breakdown of taste and intelligence at Christmas time. Mature, responsible grown men wear neckties made of holly leaves and drink alcoholic beverages with raw egg yolks and cottage cheese in them."
P.J. O'Rourke
"I have always thought of Christmas time as a good time. A kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time. The only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely."
Charles Dickens
"Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it."
Richard Lamm
"There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries."
W.J. Cameron
"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
"Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year. And yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority."
W.J. Cameron
"He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree."
Roy L. Smith
"Christmas is a time when you get homesick, even when you're home."
Carol Nelson
"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."
Norman Vincent Peale
"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
Charles Dickens
"I do come home at Christmas. We all do, or we all should. We all come home, or ought to come home, for a short holiday -- the longer, the better -- from the great boarding school where we are forever working at our arithmetical slates, to take, and give a rest."
Charles Dickens
"Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!"
Charles Dickens
"What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day."
Phyllis Diller
"Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past forgotten and his present remembered."
Phyllis Diller
"There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child."
Erna Bombeck
"How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments."
Benjamin Franklin
