Merry Christmas

Wishing all my book friends a wonderful Christmas. Hoping that all your dreams and wishes come true at this most wonderful time of the year…..

For it is in the giving that we receive. (St Francis of Assisi)

Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.”
–Dr. Seuss

“I know what I really want for Christmas. I want my childhood back. Nobody is going to give me that. I might give at least the memory of it to myself if I try. I know it doesn’t make sense, but since when is Christmas about sense, anyway? It is about a child, of long ago and far away, and it is about the child of now. In you and me. Waiting behind the door of our hearts for something wonderful to happen. A child who is impractical, unrealistic, simpleminded and terribly vulnerable to joy.” (Robert Fulghum)

Somehow, not only for Christmas but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart’s possessing Returns to you glad.

( John Greenleaf Whittier )

“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.”
–Laura Ingalls Wilder

“The rooms were very still while the pages were softly turned and the winter sunshine crept in to touch the bright heads and serious faces with a Christmas greeting.” (Louisa May Alcott)

  Merry Christmas one and all!
