“Christmas is a time for families.”
“Christmas: the one time of year when you can’t avoid the nuts in your family muesli.”
“I love Christmas. A time to slow down and enjoy life and be with my family and friends. In busy years, it keeps me sane. In bad years, it makes me feel whole again.”
“Mankind is a great, an immense family... This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.”
“Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends.”
“Ever since the Christmas of '53, I have felt that the yuletide is a special hell for those families who have suffered any loss or who must admit to any imperfection; the so-called spirit of giving can be as greedy as receiving--Christmas is our time to be aware of what we lack, of who's not home.”
