Song: "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmad Time" - Paul McCartney
�Does anyone know the real meaning of Christmas?"
�I Do Charlie Brown�
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this [shall be] a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
That�s the real meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown.� - A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charlie Brown and Linus
Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I hate to tell people that. You can�t mention Christmas because people are too political and love to scoff and would rather complain about the commercialism of the whole thing.
I don�t need gifts. I want Christmas.
My Christmas is about the decorations around the house.
The warm feeling you get in the glow of the tree lights or the fireplace.
It�s remembering other people and having them on your mind more than yourself.
It�s about finding a way to make people smile.
It�s about the smell of cookies in the house.
It�s about kissing people in the cold.
It�s about singing carols.
It�s about watching Christmas specials
It�s about taking a moment to voice your faith Jesus and God, a faith most people don�t think you even have.
I think of Christmas as warm and magical. I see it as a time to give to everyone, something that isn�t so readily available to do other times of the year.
I love Christmas, and if it�s at all about the gifts, it�s about the gifts I give others.
Nine days until Christmas.
�Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas" he thought, "doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"�- Dr Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas
