Christmas is the only time of the year when people can listen to their natural impulses and express their true feelings, love, generosity, peace without their egos feeling threatened.

Christmas is the time when we feel tenderness for the past, courage for the present and hope for the future. Christmas is not a time or season of the year, but rather a state of our mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to feel compassion, these are the true Spirit of Christmas.

Merry Christmas!
