“Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart...filled it, too, with melody that would last forever.” 

― Bess Streeter Aldrich, Song of Years

 “Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.” 

― Eric Sevareid
