Christmas greetings from some famous authors

Bloody Christmas, here again. Let us raise a loving cup:
Peace on earth, goodwill to men,
And make them do the washing up. ~Wendy Cope

Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more! ~Dr Seuss

I’ve learnt that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. ~Maya Angelou

Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice. ~Dave Barry

No, I do like Christmas on the whole… In its clumsy way, it does approach Peace and Goodwill…. But oh it is clumsier every year. ~E.M. Forster

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live. ~George Carlin

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together. ~Garrison Keillor

Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home. ~G.K. Chesterton

Ever since the Christmas of ‘53, I have felt that the yuletide is a special hell for those families who have suffered any loss or who must admit to any imperfection; the so-called spirit of giving can be as greedy as receiving—Christmas is our time to be aware of what we lack, of who’s not home. ~John Irving

For the rest, silence or good music, not much food, a lot of solitude, walks on the Heath, the time to think while others… well, often fall apart. Not so bad, not so bad at all. ~Will Self

What kind of Christmas present would Jesus ask Santa for? ~Salman Rushdie

Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people once a year. ~Victor Borge
