Facebook Status Christmas Quotes from December 2010

For anyone who liked or missed my myriad Christmas quotes from my Facebook status updates throughout December, here they all are.

 

As I heard on Sounds of Sunday on Dec. 26th, "The Spirit of Christmas is really the Spirit of Christ." May we all have the Christmas Spirit all year long.

 

"What will you and I give for Christmas this year? Let us, in our lives, give to our Lord and Savior the gift of gratitude by living His teachings and following in His footsteps. It was said of Him that He 'went about doing good.' As we do likewise, the Christmas spirit will be ours." ~President Thomas S. Monson

 

" 'It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!'
And he puzzled three hours, 'til his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store.
...Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more.' "
~Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Giesel

 

Far, far away on Judea's plain,
Shepherds of old heard the joyous strains:
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest!
Peace on Earth, good-will to men;
...Peace on Earth, good-will to men!

 

‎". . .let it be a season of seeking the Lamb of God, the King of Glory, the Everlasting Light of the World, the Great Hope of Mankind, the Savior and Redeemer of our souls.
I promise that if we unclutter our lives a little bit and in sincerity and humility seek the pure and gentle Christ with our hearts, we will see Him, we will find Him--on Christmas and throughout the year."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

"While it's true that we can find materialism and anxiety in Christmas, it is also true that if we have eyes to see, we can experience the powerful message of the birth of the Son of God and feel the hope and peace He brings to the world. We, like the Grinch, can see Christmas through new eyes." ~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

‎"Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white.' " ~Bing Crosby

 

‎"As happens so often. . .the symbols can cover that which is symbolized. In some of our lives, the manger has already been torn down to allow for a discount store running three-for-a-dollar specials on gold, frankencense and myrrh. . .Only when we see that single, sacred, unadorned object of our devotion -the Babe of Bethlehem- will we know why. . .the giving of gifts is so appropriate." " ~Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

 

‎"Christmas means giving. The Father gave His Son, and the Son gave His life. Without giving there is no true Christmas, without sacrifice there is no true worship." ~President Gordon B. Hinckley

 

‎"This little child, born in a stable and cradled in a manger, was a gift from our loving Heavenly Father. He was the promised Redeemer of the world, the Savior of mankind, the Son of the living God." ~President Henry B. Eyring

 

Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master; had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher; had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. Re-post if you believe. Merry Christmas!!

 

"This is a glorious time of the year, simple in origin, deep in meaning, beautiful in tradition and custom, rich in memories, and charitable in spirit. . .This joyful season brings to each of us a measure of happiness that corresponds to the degree in which we have turned our mind, feelings and actions to the spirit of Christmas." ~President Thomas S. Monson

 

"He whose birth we commemorate this season is more than the symbol of a holiday. He is the Son of God, the Creator of the Earth, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, the fulfillment of the Law of Moses, the Redeemer of mankind, the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace. . ." ~President Gordon B. Hinckley

 

Isaiah 9:6
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."

Merry Christmas and may God bless you this wonderful holiday season.

 

Luke 2: 10-11, 13-14
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
