3 December 2020 TobyMac I’m not going to put out a Christmas CD until it’s coming out of me naturally.
3 December 2020 Joseph Ratzinger The Christian faith can never be separated from the soil of sacred events, from the choice made by God, who wanted to speak to us, to become man, to die and rise again, in a particular place and at a particular time.
3 December 2020 Andrew Lloyd Webber I’m going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don’t, I’ve written 14 musicals now, I don’t want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.
3 December 2020 Benjamin Carson You can’t allow the forces of political correction to shut you up. I mean, why are people afraid to say, ‘Merry Christmas?’ Give me a break. If people don’t like it, yeah, they can go do something else.
3 December 2020 Phyllis McGinley Please to put a nickel, please to put a dime. How petitions trickle in at Christmas time!
3 December 2020 Whitley Strieber I put the copy of ‘A Christmas Carol’ that my grandfather had first read to me 60 years ago on my desk, and I began to write. The result, for better or for worse, is the ‘Christmas Spirits.’ I plan to read it to my grandson.
3 December 2020 Richard Brautigan I didn’t know the full dimensions of forever, but I knew it was longer than waiting for Christmas to come.
3 December 2020 Ethel Merman Christmas carols always brought tears to my eyes. I also cry at weddings. I should have cried at a couple of my own.
3 December 2020 Bob Hope If you haven’t got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
3 December 2020 Meghan O'Rourke My mother died of metastatic colorectal cancer shortly before three P.M. on Christmas Day of 2008. I don’t know the exact time of her death, because none of us thought to look at a clock for a while after she stopped breathing.
3 December 2020 Frank McCourt Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks’ Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mother never went back because she was lonely.
3 December 2020 Ashley Benson A lot of sequins for New Year’s! Red, green, white – I fail at all of that because I’m always in black. But for Christmas, I do love wearing cute dresses with tights and a pair of boots.
3 December 2020 Mo Rocca I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don’t know when to come down.
3 December 2020 Keith Thibodeaux In fact, I was one of the few trusted people that Lucy allowed to play with their kids. I spent time at their summer home, rode horses at their ranch, and swam at their beach house. I even spent a Christmas with them at Palm Springs one year.
3 December 2020 Jack Bowman I’ve been in elementary education for years and my belief is that Christmas pageants in schools are little more than conditioning kids for the Christian religion.
3 December 2020 Bing Crosby Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won’t make it ‘white’.
3 December 2020 Jeff Dunham When I was eight years old, I got a dummy for Christmas and started teaching myself. I got books and records and sat in front of the bathroom mirror, practising. I did my first show in the third grade and just kept going there was no reason to quit.
3 December 2020 Charles Dudley Warner The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value.
3 December 2020 Robbie Fowler If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It’s something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.
3 December 2020 Sara Gilbert Yeah, I started when I was 6 years old. My brother and sister would get all of these presents at Christmas time from the cast and crew of their show and I was jealous. So I decided that I had to become an actor.
3 December 2020 Tony Visconti When I was five my parents bought me a ukulele for Christmas. I quickly learned how to play it with my father’s guidance. Thereafter, my father regularly taught me all the good old fashioned songs.
