Christmas is forced upon a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press; on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred. (Quote by - George Bernard Shaw)
It would be great to get the Christmas number one. I suppose we could even write something special for Christmas. I think Santa Loves Franz Ferdinand sounds pretty good. (Quote by - Alex Kapranos)
At Christmas time I believe the things that children do. I believe with English children that holly placed in windows will protect our homes from evil. I believe with Swiss children that the touch of edelweiss will charm a person with love. (Quote by - Contributed by: Randi)
It was a German tradition to hand out holy cards at funerals. The Belgians and the French distributed them on feast days and also passed them out at first Holy Communion services. The Irish and British loved Marian and Christmas-themed holy cards. (Quote by - Ann Brown)
High noon behind the tamarisks, the sun is hot above us-- As at home the Christmas Day is breaking wan, They will drink our healths at dinner, those who tell us how they love us, And forget us till another year be gone! (Quote by - Rudyard Kipling)
We want to bring them a little bit of home for Christmas. We really wanted to do something for these kids. We can pat them on the back, sign autographs and tell them we care. (Quote by - Jerry Weintraub)
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given--when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.".

Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love. (Quote by - Lucinda Franks)
What means this glory round our feet, The Magi mused, "more bright than morn!" And voices chanted clear and sweet, "To-day the Prince of Peace is born." (Quote by - James Russell Lowell)
All of our services are going to be going on -- 8:15, 9:30 and two services at 11 a.m. Well, we're here. A lot of churches decided to forgo services on Christmas, but we were open. In fact, 5,200 people come through on Christmas Eve. I think that when folks know that you are open and committed that they will come. (Quote by - Joe Connelly)
I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses. (Quote by - Taylor Caldwell)
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. (Quote by - Contributed by: Randi)
Christmas renews our youth by stirring our wonder. The capacity for wonder has been called our most pregnant human faculty, for in it are born our art, our science, our religion. (Quote by - Ralph W. Sockman)
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. (Quote by - Burton Hills)
I don't care about Christmas, we are going to train on Christmas Day. (Quote by - Harry Redknapp)
Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death - and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas. (Quote by - Contributed by: Randi)
With both Christmas and Hanukkah coming late in the week, and considering that two of last year's top four shopping days fell immediately before Christmas, it is still possible that we will see a boost in spending. (Quote by - William Ford)
I can't go anywhere until I finish this Christmas album, .. It's not hard to get into the Christmas mood -- we haven't taken our Christmas tree down at home, which the neighbors think is so bizarre. And it is. But this is a jazz Christmas album, so I don't have to be too traditional or mind too many rules. That's what's pulling me along. (Quote by - Anita Baker)
Christmas and the day before Christmas were the hardest. Then Boxing Day the freezing level started to come down the mountain a little bit. And after that, it just came down and down, and here we are. (Quote by - Sara Aldridge)
We ran into a bit of injury trouble at the beginning, the first half, and we kind of struggled to make it to Christmas. But we knew coming back from Christmas break that we'd have a stronger team and we'd have a couple of guys coming in that would help our lineup. (Quote by - Corey MacDonald)
It's not just an exclamation, but it's a rejection of everything to do with Christmas, with the spirit of Christmas, with gift-giving, with generosity. (Quote by - Patrick Stewart)
We all four haven't been together at Christmas since 2002. This will be a very special Christmas for all of us. (Quote by - Pam Schild)
