• The spirit of Christmas needs to superseded by the Spirit of Christ.
  The spirit of Christmas is annual;
  the Spirit of Christ is eternal. The spirit of Christmas is sentimental;
  the Spirit of Christ is supernatural.

  the Spirit of Christmas is a divine person.
  That makes all the difference in the world.

• 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.

• If you desire to find the true spirit of Christmas and partake of the sweetness of it, let me make this suggestion to you. During the hurry of the festive occasion of this Christmas season, find time to turn your heart to God. Perhaps in the quiet hours, and in a quiet place, and on your knees-alone or with loved ones-give thanks for the good things that have come to you, and ask that His Spirit might dwell in you as you earnestly strive to serve Him and keep His commandments. He will take you by the hand and His promises will be kept.
