Christmas Quotes

I thought this year for Christmas I would share with you some of my favorite quotes for the holidays:

• “My prayer today is that the message of this Christmas time will be a personal message to you that Jesus will be Prince of Peace in your life and will bring peace and satisfaction and joy to you.” – Billy Graham
• “For unto you is born this day a  Savior, who is Christ the Lord” – Luke 2:11

• “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” — Hamilton Wright Mabie
• “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year long.” — Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”  
• “Christmas, my child is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it’s Christmas.” — Dale Evans Rogers
• “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.” — Victor Hugo, “Les Misérables”
• “The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.” — Burton Hillis 
• “There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.”—Kahlil Gibran, “On Giving”
• “Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.” — Brian Tracy
• “What is Christmas? It is the tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.  It is a wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.” — Agnes M. Pharo

…and I could not resist a few of my favorite humorous ones:

• “I love Christmas. I receive a lot of wonderful presents I can’t wait to exchange.” — Henry Youngman
• “I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, ‘Toys not included.’” — Bernard Manning
• “Santa Claus has the right idea: visit people once a year.” — Victor Borge

We at Family Christian Counseling Center do wish that the joy that filled the world when Jesus was born be found in your home this Christmas. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
