thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating
Christmas heart. - George Mathhew Adams

the giving spree when he gave a gift beyond words, the unspeakable
gift of His Son. - Robert Flatt

illuminate the world by His wisdom and excite it to the love of
Himself. - Peter Abelard

The name, before His wondrous birth, to Christ the Savior given. -

not even the carols, but the humble heart that receives anew the
wondrous gift, the Christ. - Frank McKibben

still a shining thing: Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears, Let
us hold close one day, remembering; Its poignant meaning for the
hearts of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again. - Grace
Noll Crowell
