I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'White Christmas' - those kind of movies.

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process the dirt of it the tears of it the frustration of it Christmas Easter birthdays growth charts pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

Bloody Christmas here again let us raise a loving cup peace on earth goodwill to men and make them do the washing up.

Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold clear night made brilliant by a glorious star the smell of incense shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby the incarnation of perfect love.

Christmas my child is love in action. Every time we love every time we give it's Christmas.

I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex which I'm doing all through the United States so that may come up just before Christmas.

I'm learning Spanish - I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas.

I love being home at Christmastime.

Christmas is of course the time to be home - in heart as well as body.

Christmas... is not an external event at all but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.
