Garrison Keillor "A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together." Maya Angelou "You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights." Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol: “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.“
