Tis The Season by Robert Hess



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 melody that would last forever.
-- Bess Streeter Aldrich

Christmas is the keeping-place for memories of our innocence.
--Joan Mills


Christmas – that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance – a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
--Augusta E. Rundel

This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone.
--Taylor Caldwell

    Merry Christmas, Lydia!

    These are wonderful quotes. I have such mixed feelings about Christmas and should focus more on its deeper, connective meaning.

    Hope you have a peaceful day.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
