Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.

 

[Trentmom]

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable 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, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

mmmmm hmmmmmmm...



I didn't even think that until you said it and now I can not get it out of my head


sorry Mr. Mustard

Doesn't anyone remember the Beatles???

No, I've come to embrace the CLUE references - no worries

 

[Trentmom]

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each othe

Sorry, I don't remember the Beatles, but I do know of them

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.

Well said!

It took having children to teach me those lessons ...and for that among other wonderful things I will be eternally grateful to them

 

[Trentmom]

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

Thank ya.....


Having children does change everything

Or even finding that special someone achieves the same goal

 

[Trentmom]

There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries.

 

[Trentmom]

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.

 

[Trentmom]

Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.

 

[Trentmom]

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

 

[Trentmom]

For centuries men have kept an appointment with Christmas. Christmas means fellowship, feasting, giving and receiving, a time of good cheer, home.

 

[Trentmom]

Even as an adult I find it difficult to sleep on Christmas Eve. Yuletide excitement is a potent caffeine, no matter your age.

 

[Trentmom]

Sorry Mustard, if you think I am ignoring ya..

Just doing something

 

[Trentmom]

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.

 

[Trentmom]

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...

 

[Trentmom]

Remember
This December,
That love weighs more than gold!

 

[Trentmom]

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.

 

[Trentmom]

Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles.
