Christmas Quotes - The True Meaning of Christmas

"This Advent we look to the Wise Men to teach us where to focus our attention. We set our sights on things above, where God is. We draw closer to Jesus...

- Mark Zimmermann

-- Max Lucado

"Late on a sleepy, star-spangled night, those angels peeled back the sky just like you would tear open a sparkling Christmas present.

The angels called it "Good News, " and it was."

Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart."
-- George Matthew Adams (The Christmas Heart)
