My love of quotes prompted today’s post. I decided to step aside this week and let others step front and center stage. I spent last night gathering some of my favorite Christmas quotes for you to enjoy. Let me know which one(s) you like. Even better, share a favorite holiday quote in the comments and I’ll add it to my collection.

Dee: Thank you. I’m glad to know you were encouraged by the post. I love sifting through quotes and always find a new one that I haven’t read before.
My Christmas comes with solitude
but not without good cheer,
for what can better set the mood
than pizza and cold beer?
Pizza with its warming glow,
and holly-bright red sauce
tells of the day of long ago,
and the beer reminds of frost
that hung on the winter air,
while pizza-cheese harks sacrifice
that manger-cow did bear
and she gladly paid the price
in giving humans her fresh milk
that she’d saved for her own ilk.

Nice that all of these quotes are about Time and Love.
Christmas:
For God sent his SON to spend TIME with us so that THEY could show us how to LOVE.
