Monday Quote Day – Merry Christmas Eve!

Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair [of socks]. People will insist on giving me books.

{Albus Dumbledore ~ J.K. Rowling}

I feel like a lot of time my writing is like having about twenty boxes of Christmas decorations. But no tree. You're going, ‘Where do I put this?’ Then they go, ‘Okay, you can have a tree, but we'll blindfold you and you gotta cut it down with a spoon.’

{Carolyn Chute}

When I discovered libraries, it was like having Christmas every day.

{Jean Fritz}

Read! When your baby is finally down for the night, pick up a juicy book like Eat, Pray, Love or Pride and Prejudice or my personal favorite, Understanding Sleep Disorders: Narcolepsy and Apnea, A Clinical Study. Taking some time to read each night really taught me how to feign narcolepsy when my husband asked me what my ‘plan’ was for taking down the Christmas tree.

{Tina Fey}

It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when the Great Creator was a child himself.

{Charles Dickens}

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. 

{Norman Vincent Peale}

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly. 

{Andy Rooney}

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air. 

{W.T. Ellis}

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

{Roy L. Smith}

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

{Burton Hillis}

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

{Ebenezer Scrooge ~ Charles Dickens}
