A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season is here; Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before, And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.

"Christmas is the one day of the year that carries real hope and promise for all mankind. It carries the torch of brotherhood. It is the one day in the year when most of us grow big of heart and broad of mind."

Wisdom

"At Christmas, a man is at his finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season’s here; Then he’s thinking more of others than he’s thought the months before, And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than at any other time; When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime."
