Christmas Card Sayings

admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 01:14:03 +0000

Some things that you can use on your Christmas Cards:

This one is by Charles Dickens:
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

“A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”

“Christmas is the season when you buy this year’s gifts with next year’s money. ”

I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never aone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the word seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.”
Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.

“The earth has grown old with its burden of care But at Christmas it always is young, The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair And its soul full of music breaks the air,”

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”

“The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect!”

“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.”

“Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won’t make it ‘white’.”

“Before the ice is in the pools,
Before the skaters go,
Or any cheek at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow,
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!”

“Jews have God’s promise and if we Christians have it, too, then it is only as those chosen with them, as guests in their house, that we are new wood grafted onto their tree. ”

“The best Christmas trees come very close to exceeding nature.”

“Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all thirty feet tall.”

Happy Thanksgiving Quotes

Here is a compilation of some happy Thanksgiving Quotes and saying to use for your Thanksgiving greetings.

So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.

Thanksgiving to God is an exuberant response to giving me his everything, by giving Him my everything.

Heap high the board with plenteous cheer and gather to the feast,
And toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased.

Ah! on Thanksgiving day…. When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?

For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;

“Thank God every day when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.”
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

A happy Thanks giving quote by Cicero, “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. ” More Cicero Quotes

“Thanksgiving Day will soon be here
It comes around but once a year
If I could only have my way,
We’d have Thanksgiving every day.”
