"Dad bought me a toy drum one Christmas, and I eventually destroyed it. I wanted a real drum and he bought me a snare drum. Dad continued to buy me one drum after the other."
"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."
Calvin Coolidge on Christmas"He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree."
Roy L. Smith on Christmas"The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live."
George Carlin on Christmas"Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store."
Dr. Seuss on Christmas"A good conscience is a continual Christmas."
Benjamin Franklin on Christmas"Lucy took care of me on the set, and made sure that none of the crew cussed around me. She also had birthday parties for me and made sure that they were well attended."
"In fact, I was one of the few trusted people that Lucy allowed to play with their kids. I spent time at their summer home, rode horses at their ranch, and swam at their beach house. I even spent a Christmas with them at Palm Springs one year."
