As we head into Christmas Day – a day of celebration – it is our hope that each of you will take a moment to savor the season and share the beauty with those in your life. Here are several holiday quotes that  truly convey the joy to be experienced in this magical season!

“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.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“Christmas is the season for kindling
the fire of hospitality in the hall,
the genial flame of charity in the heart. “

– Washington Irving

“Christmas is not an eternal event at all, but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.”
– Freya Stark

“A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season’s here; then he’s thinking more of others than
he’s thought the months before, and the laughter
of his children is a joy worth toiling for.”

– Edgar Guest

“At Christmas, all roads lead home.”
– Marjorie Holmes

It is wonderful to remember all that has been accomplished as the year comes to a close. From our house to yours, we wish you a blessed New Year that is filled with peace and prosperity!
