Quotes on christmas
Santa Claus has the right idea: Visit people once a year.
Borge, Victor
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
Dickens, Charles
As I sat on a sunny bank On Christmas day in the morning I spied three ships come sailing in.
Irving, Washington
It is my heart-warmed and world-embracing Christmas hope and aspiration that all of us, the high, the low, the rich, the poor, the admired, the despised, the loved, the hated, the civilized, the savage (every man and brother of us all throughout the whole earth), may eventually be gathered together in a heaven of everlasting rest and peace and bliss, except the inventor of the telephone.
Twain, Mark
Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money.
Unknown, Author
If a man called Christmas Day a mere hypocritical excuse for drunkeness and gluttony, that would be false, but it would have a fact hidden in it somewhere. But when Bernard Shaw says that Christmas Day is only a conspiracy kept up by Poulterers and wine merchants from strictly business motives, then he says something which is not so much false as startling and arrestingly foolish. He might as well say that the two sexes were invented by jewellers who wanted to sell wedding rings.
Chesterton, Gilbert Keith
In the United States, Christmas has become the rape of an idea.
Bach, Richard
Well, he got this new globe for Christmas.
Dole, Bob
Be naughty - save Santa a trip.

Christmas is the time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell government what they want and their kids pay for it.
Lamm, Richard
The great majority of people will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and some day suddenly wake up and discover why.
Chesterton, Gilbert Keith
To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year.
White, E. B.
The Christmas season has come to mean the period when the public plays Santa Claus to the merchants.
Holmes, John Andrew
It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless Us, Every One!"
Dickens, Charles
