It's December, the month of happiness and celebration! As we enter this month the only thought that comes to our mind is the Big Day, and the merriment it brings along with it! It's a time to relax and enjoy getting together with our family, a time to laugh and a time to play, a time to pray and a time to share our blessedness with our friends. The time to be happy in now!
While we are busy preparing for this day, writing cards, selecting presents, getting decorations for the Christmas tree, making cakes and sweets, painting houses, at the end of the day we are tired and just want to relax slipping into our most comfortable and warm clothes, getting cozy inside the quilt, watching Christmas movies! We want to do all of it in this month, 'coz we just can't get enough of it! Watching the same lot of Christmas movies every year doesn't make it boring, but brings back a lot of memories. Remembering few of our favorite movie quotes that cover all the genres, be it funny, classic, love or holiday movies, let's get ourselves into that jolly mood once again, 'coz soon it will be Christmas time!

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."
- Dr. Seuss' 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' (1966 T.V. short film)

Henry Brougham: Tonight I want to tell you the story of an empty stocking. Once upon a midnight clear, there was a child's cry. A blazing star hung over a stable and wise men came with birthday gifts. We haven't forgotten that night down the centuries; we celebrate it with stars on Christmas trees, the sound of bells and with gifts. But especially with gifts.
You give me a book; I give you a tie. Aunt Martha has always wanted an orange squeezer and Uncle Henry could do with a new pipe. We forget nobody, adult or child. All the stockings are filled ... all that is, except one. And we have even forgotten to hang it up. The stocking for the child born in a manger. It's his birthday we are celebrating. Don't ever let us forget that.
Let us ask ourselves what he would wish for most ... and then let each put in his share. Loving kindness, warm hearts and the stretched out hand of tolerance. All the shining gifts that make peace on earth.
- 'The Bishop's Wife' (1947)

Charlie Brown: Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?
Linus Van Pelt: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about.
Linus Van Pelt: Lights, please.
Linus Van Pelt: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto 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 Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' 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.'"
Linus Van Pelt: That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
