Christmas Spirit - 06


Christmas Quoatations
What Do You Think About Christmas?


"If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away." ~ Unknown

"Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect." ~ Oren Arnold

"I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous, pleasant time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say, God bless Christmas!" ~ Charles Dickens

"The only real blind person at Christmas-time is he who has not Christmas in his heart." ~ Helen Keller

"The mystery of the Holy Night, which historically happened two thousand years ago, must be lived as a spiritual event in the ‘today’ of the Liturgy. The Word who found a dwelling in Mary’s womb comes to knock on the heart of every person with singular intensity this Christmas." ~ Pope John Paul II

At Christmas I no more desire a rose than wish a snow in May's new-fangled shows, But like of each thing that in season grows. ~ William Shakespeare.

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'." ~ Bing Crosby

Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends." ~ Margaret Thatcher

Natal merangkum seluruh dunia ke dalam pelukannya. Melintasi batas-batas benua. Menembusi kendala batas-batas budaya. Natal melumerkan perbedaan jarak. Menjembatani jurang-jurang budaya. Menghancurkan ekslusivisme denominasi. Sebab Natal adalah hadiah Allah bagi seluruh dunia dan segenap umat manusia ~ Eka Darmaputera

The Spirit :
“Natal tidak tergantung pada bagaimana cara kita merayakannya, tetapi pada bagaimana kita menghayatinya; yang penting isinya, bukan bentuknya.” ~ Ayub Yahya.
Bagaimana menurut anda?
