At Christmas play
And make good cheer,
For Christmas comes
But once a year.
- Thomas Tusser
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
Christmas…
That magic blanket that wraps
Itself about us,
That something so intangible
That it is like a fragrance.
It may weave a spell of nostalgia.
Christmas may be a day of feasting,
Or of prayer,
But it will be a day of remembrance…
A day in which we think of everything
We have ever loved.
- Augusta E. Rundell
In the old days,
It was not called the Holiday Season;
The Christians called it ‘Christmas’
And went to church;
The Jews called it ‘Hanukkah’
And went to synagogue;
The atheists went to parties and drank.
People passing each other on the street
Would say ‘Merry Christmas’
Or ‘Happy Hanukkah!’
Or (to the atheists)
‘Look out for the wall!”
- Dave Berry
Happy Xmas (War is Over)
