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

― Washington Irving

 “Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!” 

― Charles Dickens
