Christmas the very word
Brings joy to our hearts.
No matter how we may
Dread the rush,
The long Christmas lists for gifts
And cards to be bought and given…
When Christmas Day comes there
Is still the same warm feeling
We had as children,
The same warmth that
Enfolds our hearts and our homes.
- Joan Winmill Brown
But I am sure that I have
Always thought of Christmas time,
When it has come around…
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
The earth has grown old
With its burden of care,
But Christmas it always
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
