“A pretty woman is a Christmas tree,' my mother told me in the airport. This fella is hanging things on my branches as his gaze sweeps from my face all the way down my body to my hips and then back to my face. Ideas fly from his widened eyes and land on me like teeny, decorative burdens. He is giving me shyness, maybe, some book smarts, and a certain yielding sweetness in bed. The oil-slick eyes get me, and I find myself hanging a few ornaments myself, giving him deft hands and a sense of humor.”
― Joshilyn Jackson, Backseat Saints

“The Christmas trees are brought from Vermont by monosyllabic men in warm clothes; they seem alien, closer to the earth, silently contemptuous, like gypsies. They bring in their trees and stand them up on the pavements, so that swaths of Broadway are suddenly transformed into dark, pine-scented avenues.”
― Deborah Meyler, The Bookstore

― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

“That wintry night, a child was born, swaddled with light and hay to adorn, through divine intervention, and a woman pure. And Heaven Rejoiced!
He lived as a man to die for His creation, to shed His Blood as an offering and render us clean, to claim us back unto Himself as One in God our Creator, One God in all men, and to all men their God. At this, Heaven cried ' Accomplished'! He resurrected and ascended for which Heaven trumpeted 'Restored'! And now Heaven plans this banquet called 'Many Called-Few Chosen' for the time ripe for Him to come again to sweep His bride off her feet, sealed with His Blood and garment divine, for her to live and reign with Him forever. So this is the Christmas Story, the story of Jesus Divine!”
― Henrietta Newton Martin , Legal Counsel , Author. Greatest of All Romances Your Potters Call.

“Did you know,” North said, as he hung a feathery blue jay, “that real trees are better for the environment than fake ones? A lot of people think the fake ones are better, because you have to throw out the real ones every year, but real trees produce oxygen and provide wildlife habitats while they grow, and then, when they’re done, they can be ground into mulch to fertilize the earth. While the plastic ones just… rot in landfills. They can take hundreds of years to decompose.”

Marigold waited until he was done with his rant. “Yeah,” she said. “I know.”
― Stephanie Perkins, My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories

“Tis the night before Christmas
And the moon is sitting high
The kids are in bed,
Kissed and snuggled in tight

The gifts are all wrapped
There is love in the air
It only comes once
So it is handled with care

The curtains are drawn
The cookies are bit
It’s time to blow out
All those candles we’ve lit

The kids will soon wake
With laughter in their hearts
We have a big day ahead
And early it would start

Laughter’s and squeals
Jumps on the bed
Screaming, “Get up”!
“Get up!” as they fled

Wrappings and ribbons
Thrown everywhere
“Oh, I love you Mom and Dad!”
Neither did spare

Family arrives - Carolers sing
Stories are told
Of childhood memories
This is true love; true love is in the air
And it only comes once
So it is handled with care

Now the gifts have been opened
And the food is all gone
The songs are all sung
And the guests have gone home

It is time to get back
To all the normal things
It is time to put away
All that the holidays bring

You'll go to your office
She'll go to her room
He'll reach for his game
I guess I'll grab the broom

Christmas had come
And Christmas had went
It only comes once a year
But it is always time well spent”
― N'Zuri Za Austin

“Today is "tree decorating day." It's not my favorite day of the year, but it's not the worst either. For instance, I like it better than "root canal day" and "food poisoning day" and "colonoscopy day.”
― David Rosenfelt
