Christmas Quotes

My friend Vicki Gaines shared the following notes and quotes on her blog, Light for the Writer's Soul, recently.  I pass them along to our Pilgrim Scribblings readers:

Such a busy season! Yet, we can be still and know . . . that He is God. Merry Christmas, dear friends. A few quotes to warm you this joyous season:

“Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.” ~ Washington Irving
