The Spirit of Christmas

"Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display--so much tinsel and decorations. For it isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of people when the Christmas spirit returns again."

  1. What a great quote, and just how i sum up christmas myself. Funny thing Marion, I thought of you this morning, (it's 7.49am christmas morning as i type this) and other bloggy friends around the world. im feeling very grateful this morning for what I do have, although my cherished ones must be shared and are not with me today. I wish you, E, and the rest of your family the happiest of christmaseseses. Jane x

  9. Yes! I always wait to be swept up in that moment and notice it when it first starts to reach me :) I think there are varying degrees of it and then I realize all of a sudden- its got me- completely got me and that is the best :) Great quote! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
