And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. 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 (1904-1991 cartoonist of political satire and children's books)

Dear Santa,

Do reindeer really know how to fly?
Do reindeer really know how to dash away?

Don't get your tinsel in a tangle.

Don't open 'til Christmas

Every mother's child is gonna spy, to see if reindeer really know how to fly.
-- Mel Torme (1925-1999 aka the Velvet Fog - jazz composer, arranger, a drummer, an actor in radio, film, television, and the author of five books. He also wrote"The Christmas Song".)

Let's meet under the mistletoe

Let the Snow begin./Let the flakes fly.

Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
Let there be Peace on Earth the Peace that was meant to be.
As God as our Father ... Brothers all are we. (Family all are we)
Let me walk with my Brother in perfect harmony. (Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony)

Let Peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally.
Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me.

Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice. -- Dave Barry (b.1947 columnist, bestselling American author and Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist)

Oh, Christmas Tree Oh, Christmas Tree ... How lovely are thine branches.

Oh, Holy Night

The older I get: the longer I hold on to a Holiday hug
The more I realize Christmas is a matter of the heart,
The more I enjoy giving than receiving,
The more I try to see Christmas through the eyes of a child,
The longer I sit in the glow of the Christmas Tree light,
The more wonderfully beautiful the Christmas story is,
The deeper my awe at God's infinite Love...
The more I LOVE Christmas.

On Christmas make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year!

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. - Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867-1957 writer of "The Little House on the Prairie" books)

Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy -duet
Come they told me pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
A new-born king to see pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Our finest gifts we bring pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Ra-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pam

Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum/ Peace on Earth, can it be
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / Years from now, perhaps we'll see
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / See the day of glory
To lay before the king pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / See the day, when men of good will
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum / Live in peace, live in peace again
So to honour him pa-rum-pum-pum-pumwhen we come/ Peace on Earth, can it be / Can it be

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

Little baby pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / I pray my wish will come true
I stood beside him there pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / For my child and your child too
I played my drum for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / He'll see the day of glory
I played my best for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum / See the day when men of good will
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum / Live in peace, live in peace again
And he smiled at me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum/ Peace on Earth, can it be
me and my drum / Can it be
-- David Bowie duet with Bing Crosby (Recorded on September 11, 1977 for Bing Crosby's yearly Christmas special. Crosby died a month later and the show aired posthumously in December 1977.)

TIPS:

- Journal your family traditions, ceremonies, favorite (cookie) recipes, Christmas carols, etc. on your holiday pages. Even old traditions that you don't follow anymore and maybe who started them. (Santa called my nieces every Christmas eve to make sure they were in bed.)

- Using the poem "A visit by St. Nick" by Clement Clark Moore commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas"-break the stands apart and illustrate with your family pictures and Christmas cards.
http://www.christmas-tree.com/stories/nightbeforechristmas.html

- Boarder your Christmas page with symbols of the holiday. (presents, gingerbread, holly and berries, ivy, wreath, toys, snowflake, jingle bells, Christmas tree, Santa's hat or boot, 3 crowns, babe in the manger, bows, JOY, NOEL, pine trees w/snow)
