1. "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."

Norman Vincent Peale

2. Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30ft. tall. ~ Larry Wilde

3. Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it.

7. Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home. Charles Dickens

4. There is a remarkable breakdown of taste and intelligence at Christmas time. Mature, responsible grown men wear neckties made of holly leaves and drink alcoholic beverages with raw egg yolks and cottage cheese in them.

5. I can understand people simply feeling the mountainous effort Christmas has become...but there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress.

Great solves!

6. In the old days, it wasn't called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church.

Keep going, MsM! There's more to that one.

Oh big oooooopppsss; sorry Pandora, I should wear my specs!

Continued: the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other in the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' ~ Dave Barry

Marvelous!

8. Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love for kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

Well solved, Lex.

9. Oh look,yet another Christmas TV special. How touching to have the meaning of Christmas brought to us by cola, fast food and beer....Who'd have ever guessed that product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so harmoniously? ~ Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbs

Spot on, michele!
