      Introduction

      

      Line Line

      Christmas is a time of joy. Our carols call us to rejoice. Our Christmas cards are covered with such cheerful words as Merry Christmas, Joy to the World, and Happy Holidays. Something about the holiday season stirs up joyful emotions; and the reason that we celebrate causes us to overflow in acts of charity, hospitality, and generosity.

      This book will give you even more to be joyful about by sharing the joys of yesterday, tomorrow’s hope of eternity, and suggestions to make this present-day Christmas a joyful time. You will enjoy reading the Christmas carols and quotations from the past about Christmas joy. The trivia we have included will show you how Christmas joy looked in the past, while the recipes and suggestions will help you to make this present Christmas one of the most joyful.

      Sit back in your most comfortable chair with something hot to chase the winter chill away, and revel in Christmas joy!

      

      My soul glorifies the Lord

      and my spirit rejoices my Savior.

      Luke 1:46-47

      Christmas Everywhere

      Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas tonight!

      Christmas in lands of the fir-tree and pine,

      Christmas in lands of the palm-tree and vine,

      Christmas where snow peaks stand solemn and white,

      Christmas where cornfields stand sunny and bright.

      Christmas where children are hopeful and gay,

      Christmas where old men are patient
