“At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time….a few of us are endeavoring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth.  We choose this time because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt and Abundance rejoices.” – Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!” – Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

“Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.” – Steve Maraboli

“It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you…yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and sister and offer him your hand.” – Mother Teresa
