“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.”
Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas

Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.
