Holidays

If you are old enough to feel angst about how a holiday “feels,” you are very likely no longer in the target demographic.

One Christmas I had no money, and so I went home and just, like, wrote a poem; I mean, I didn't write them, but I just handed out poems as Christmas presents. Like, 'Here's a Pablo Neruda poem that really made me think of you.'.

So many Christmas films either are twee, or try and go super edgy, then stick on something Christmassy at the end of the movie.

Christmas is taken very seriously in this household. I believe in Father Christmas, and there's no way I'd do anything to undermine that belief.

I miss being in Barbados in December,That is a time I always remember,The smell of varnish on the wooden floors,And the smell of paint on the wooden doorsThe crowds in de Supermarket,Buying up the rum,And the music blastingPuh rup a pum pum.

Christmas united us as holy beings. We experience love, joy and peace.

Even when you take a holiday from technology, technology doesn't take a break from you.

If you had a Ministry box set under your Christmas tree, wrapped in paper, 'From Beer to Eternity' is the bow that goes around the present, you know what I mean?

The Christmas genre is a field that's been well-ploughed.

Certainly, nothing would stop me coming home for Christmas, if I can. But I've worked a lot in theatre, and in theatre in New York, we work Christmas Day a lot of the time as well.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

It's very hard to respect people on holiday - everybody looks so silly at the beach, it makes you hate humanity - but when you see people at their work they elicit respect, whether it's a mechanic, a stonemason or an accountant.

Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past. Today's Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.

Some people are born for Halloween, and some are just counting the days until Christmas.

Even though we're a week and a half away from Thanksgiving, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

May it be long before the people of the United States shall cease to take a deep and pervading interest in the Fourth of July, as the birthday of our national life, or the event which then occurred shall be subordinated to any other of our national history.

Labour day is a great American holiday that peoplecelebrate by going out and buying products made in China.

The spirit of Christmas is found when we lift the load of others.
