I found some nice Christmas quotes I want to share with you today –

Norman Vincent Peale ~ “Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.”

Charles Dickens ~ “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”

“Merry” – Paul Militaru Photography

Bing Crosby ~ “Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won’t make it ‘white’.”

Dale Evans ~ “Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it’s Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas” – Paul Militaru Photography

Bob Hope ~ “My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”

Edna Ferber ~ “Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.”

“Night Snow” – Paul Militaru Photography

Calvin Coolidge ~ “Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
