Q: Thank you for sharing your favorite Thanksgiving quotes; will you do that for Christmas too?

A: • It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you... every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand. - Mother Teresa • Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts. - Janice Maeditere • Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. - Calvin Coolidge • Christmas gift suggestions: to your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. - Oren Arnold • Are you willing to believe love is the strongest thing in the world stronger than hate, evil, and death, and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem is the image and brightness of Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas. - Henry Van Dyke • Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given - when Christmas Day comes there is the same warm feeling that enfolds our hearts and our homes. Joan Winmill Brown • My idea of Christmas is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that? - Bob Hope • Christmas is about the birth of a little child, and for one day, we can all feel like children again.
