\"stocking\"
\nIt’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house.\u00a0 The tree is almost decorated.\u00a0 We’re sending Christmas cards out on Friday and the shopping is progressing nicely.\u00a0\u00a0 All of this has put me in the holiday spirit.\u00a0 So I thought I’d share some of my favorite quotes from the LitQuotes Christmas quotations collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heap on more wood!–the wind is chill;
\nBut let it whistle as it will,
\nWe’ll keep our Christmas merry still.<\/b>
\n~\u00a0 Marmion<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Sir Walter Scott<\/p>\n

It is, indeed, the season of regenerated feeling–the season for kindling, not merely the fire of hospitality in the hall, but the genial flame of charity in the heart.<\/b>
\n~\u00a0 Old Christmas<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Washington Irving<\/p>\n

“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.”
\n<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Roast Beef, Medium<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Edna Ferber<\/p>\n

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone!”<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0 A Christmas Carol<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles Dickens<\/p>\n
