Day 2 of Blogmas 2019 is 7 Christmas quotes to get you in the festive spirit 🙂 Also, how cute is this little book?? My parents got it for me when I was a wee little lass, & it’s part of my Christmas decor (which is coming soon, sneak peek of the tree, ayyyy). Now, let’s begin, shall we?
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.
Washington Irving
Christmas day is a day of joy and charity. May God make you very rich in both.
Phillips Brooks
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world.
Charles Dickens (the MAN!!!)
Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won’t make it ‘white.’
Bing Crosby (also the man)
Heap on the wood!–the wind is chill; But let it whistle as it will, We’ll keep our Christmas merry still.
Walter Scott
Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in conspiracy of love.
Hamilton Wright Mabie
Are y’all ready for my favourite quote of this year’s compilation? It’s a bit of a beast:
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.
Charles Dickens (I’m telling you, he’s the MAN!!)
