Now the essence the very spirit of Christmas is that we first make believe a thing is so and lo it presently turns out to be so.

T'was the night before Christmas when all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.

The supernatural birth of Christ his miracles his resurrection and ascension remain eternal truths whatever doubts may be cast on their reality as historical facts.

The real evidence for Jesus and Christianity is in how Jesus and the Christianity based on him manifest themselves in the lives of practicing Christians.

I love Christmas not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year.

There are some people who want to throw their arms round you simply because it is Christmas there are other people who want to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.

At Christmas 'It's a Wonderful Life' makes me cry in exactly the same places every time even though I know it's coming.

That's the true spirit of Christmas people being helped by people other than me.

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory like a thunderstorm and we all go through it together.
