- Frances Farmer on Christmas
- I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
- Charles Dickens on Christmas
- I wouldn't recommend young kids see 'Speedway Junkie.' It's definitely an age-appropriate movie - dark and realistic and edgy. If young kids want to see me, go see the Christmas movie.
- Jonathan Taylor Thomas on Christmas
- I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

- Jamie Foxx on Christmas
- I'm going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don't, I've written 14 musicals now, I don't want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.

- I'm well-travelled so I can see places coming up. I went to St. Croix in the West Indies at Christmas and it had been hit by a really bad tornado. Values there have gone down but I guarantee they will be up again in eight years. So I'll get in now while it's cheap as chips.

- I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.
- Florence Welch on Christmas

- Johann Lamont on Christmas
- If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

- In the spring of 1994 I decided not to seek reelection to the Senate. I had made the decision 12 years earlier, Christmas Day of 1982, just after I had been first elected to a full term, that I would do the best I could for a limited time.
- George J. Mitchell on Christmas
- In the United States Christmas has become the rape of an idea.

- Richard E. Grant on Christmas
- It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.

Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul.
- Caroline Kennedy on Christmas
