When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.
MATTHEW 2:911 It is Christmas in the mansion, Yule-log fires and silken frocks; It is Christmas in the cottage, Mothers filling little socks. It is Christmas on the highway, In the thronging, busy mart; But the dearest, truest Christmas It is Christmas in the heart.

PSALM 28:7 came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Star and angels gave the sign.

HARRY WEBB FARRINGTON Thus we can always know that men could live with goodwill and understanding for each other, because one day in each year the little Divine Prince of Peace still compels them to do it.
CHARLES JEREMIAH WELLS I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
Charles Dickens 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 hearts possessing,Returns to you glad.
JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
