Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning. . . (Hal Borland)

It’s sad, isn’t it, that the “Christmas spirit” often doesn’t last beyond Dec. 25?

“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.”  (Dr. Seuss in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.)

It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters. It’s who’s around it. (Charles Schultz, late American cartoonist)
