## Quotes

1. "December has to be my favorite month. I love Christmas as much as I did as a baby, maybe more, since I have my own family to share it with now. It can be a challenging time in families, a busy, stressful time, or a hard time if you are alone. But underneath it all is the magic of Christmas and of hope, and the magic you can create for others. Sometimes, at your lowest point, the joy you can give to someone else will lift you above your own problems or griefs."
2. "The hardest Christmas we ever faced was three months ago, and amazingly, the love we shared with family and friends got us through it. This was a sweet, tender Christmas that none of us had expected."
3. "I love all the little traditions associated with Christmas, picking the tree, baking gingerbread cookies for friends, reaching out to people, picking gifts for people you love, and hoping they love the gifts too. The gift can be small if it comes from the heart, or even something you made. Christmas is about giving even more than getting. I still have all the gifts my friends made for me at Christmas over the years."
4. "The shared family meals, and being together for the holidays. That's the best part for me. We have a potluck dinner, and everyone brings a dish of food they made, including gingerbread, ice cream, pies, cookies, cupcakes..."
5. "Come with me! I wanna show you something. After we put on the ornaments and my mom lights up the tree, we put it in this spot right here. It's a really beautiful moment. It kinda makes me feel like I'm a part of something special. Do you understand why that's really important to me?"
6. "This way, the Santa concept is not a lie that gets discovered, but an unfolding series of good deeds and Christmas spirit. For a time, we all come together and live in the house together while we decide, and it turns out to be a blessing for each of us."
7. "The idea is, when we accentuate all the good things Santa does for people around the world, our kids can better comprehend the Christmas spirit. The Christmas Spirit is what makes Santa real. It's the magic. The happiness. The cherished memories together. If you can embrace the spirit of Christmas, or the holidays generally, and reach out to those in need — or who are lonely, sad, or in despair — you will be blessed with a sense of joy that will lift you above your own problems. With all my love, Dellerdelia."

14. "Wow, it's a magic festival of lights!"
15. "No, that's not how Christmas works! Do you people have any idea of what the holidays are about? It's about giving to others. Spending time with family and friends..."
