“As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is.”

“The chief cause of problems is solutions.”

“Never underestimate your listener's intelligence, or overestimate you listener's information.”

“Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.”

“Some places are like family. They annoy us to no end, especially during the holidays, but we keep coming back for more because we know, deep in our hearts, that our destinies are intertwined.”

“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.”

“The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else--we are the busiest people in the world.”
