• A song was heard at Christmas
  To wake the midnight sky:
  A saviour's birth, and peace on earth,
  And praise to God on high.

  With all the hosts above,
  And still we sing the newborn King
  His glory and his love.

• Have you any old grudges you would like to pay,
  Any wrongs laid up from a bygone day?

  When Christmas comes.

  And life is short from beginning to end;
  Be kind to yourself, leave nothing to mend
  When Christmas comes.

• At Christmas A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here; Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before, And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than at any other time; When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime.
