Christmas means the mass of Christ. It means the spirit borne and natured in the heart that loves and keeps. It is the moving spirit that lives only after hate has died, and what has proven to be disastrous to the soul and the mind ceases to be.
The true spirit of Christmas cannot be of a lessened degree. It is always present, profound in its sanctity, intense in its divinity. The true spirit of Christmas is not about the Christmas trees, Christmas lights, gifts-giving, but it is about Jesus. Peace comes in, if we have this spirit preserved and nurtured in our hearts each day, then one has Christmas, then we feel its spirit creeping into our being-gripping our very souls. This mysterious feeling resides in the quietness of the soul. It is not found in lighted Christmas trees, nor in beautiful gifts.
Christmas is the feast of love and peace, to know love is to have peace and one lives in peace only when one has love. That is the whole meaning of Christmas- the spirit of the sweet and tender mystery of love and forgiveness, a magnificient testimonial of God's love to mankind.
