As the holidays approach, you’ll probably end up watching a bunch of movies like Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone, Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacationor my two favorites, It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story. But since we have all been sitting inside and binge-watching TV for the last 8 months, I thought you might need a little extra inspiration beyond the silver screen to get you in the holiday spirit. So, in this year of social distancing, here are some Christmas quotes to share with friends and family.
“Christmas is like candy; it slowly melts in your mouth sweetening every taste bud, making you wish it could last forever.”-Richelle E. Goodrich
“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.”-Edna Ferber
“The way you spend Christmas is far more important than how much.”-Henry David Thoreau
“The joy of brightening other lives becomes for us the magic of the holidays.”-W.C. Jones
“If you want to experience the true meaning of Christmas, give something to someone who can offer noting in return.”-Toni Sorenson
“At Christmas, all roads lead home.”-Marjorie Holmes
“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
“Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.”-Peg Bracken
“One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.”-Andy Rooney
Faith makes all things possible. Hope makes all things work. Love makes all things beautiful. May you have all three this Christmas!
From the EIL family to your family, we wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
