6 Days Until Christmas

 I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. 

 ~Charles Dickens

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:  

the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.  ~Burton Hillis
