“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.”

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

“Christmas is the keeping-place for memories of our innocence.”

“Mankind is a great, an immense family... This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.”

“How sad if we allow our hearts to waneAnd obscure our joy with enduring painWhile all things, good or bad, indisputably go byLike morning that transmutes in evening sky”

“Then I learnt of “white Christmas”, which again I found very peculiar since we always have a white Christmas at home for it never passes by without eating rice. That is our white Christmas.”

“We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time.”
