There’s nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

And the angel said unto them, “Fear not! For, behold,
I bring you tidings of great joy, Which shall be to all people.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David A Saviour, 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.
- St. Luke ii. 10-12

Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl.
But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart… filled it, too,
with a melody that would last forever.
- Bess Streeter Aldrich

Peace on earth will come to stay, When we live Christmas every day.
