If you're an English actor, and you're asked to do an episode - especially the Christmas episode - of 'Downton Abbey,' you can't turn it down. It's like, 'Of course!' Janet Montgomery Christmas
As a youngster, when I was active in church, I had a lot of fun choosing and hanging massive stars and making the cribs. I was also very involved in the Christmas plays, though not as an actor, but I took joy in setting up the props. Nivin Pauly Christmas
I beg people not to accept the seasonal ritual of well-timed charity on Christmas Eve. It's blasphemy. Jonathan Kozol Christmas

At the age of 12, my parents gave me a chemistry set for Christmas, and experimentation soon became a consuming passion in my life. John Vane Christmas
I love the excitement, the childlike spirit of innocence and just about everything that goes along with Christmas. Hillary Scott Christmas
To me, it remains incomprehensible that a people who can design the Porsche 911 and sleek, white ice trains, who created the Bauhaus and speak at least three languages at birth, want to own twee Christmas figurines painted in gaudy colours, dress up in Bavarian lederhosen, and eat Haribo gummy bears. Rory MacLean Christmas
I've also committed my time and resources to many local organizations like Christmas in April, Catholic Community Services, and Hudson County Meals on Wheels. Vincent Frank Christmas
Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit. Kin Hubbard Christmas
Lately I did a film called All I Want for Christmas and it was well received. This gave me a new point of view and a new respect for my work as an actress. Sarah Polley Christmas
I grew up with three little brothers. Every Christmas, we'd have piles of toy trucks and Lincoln Logs and G.I. Joes under the tree. Those were for them. For me? My No. 1 favorite present of all time: books. Two or three tall stacks of wonderful stories that I could lose myself in for weeks. Karen Robards Christmas
My father used to always give me a basketball, a skate board, and a bike every Christmas. That's all I wanted every year. Amar'e Stoudemire Christmas
I was once part of a Christmas cabaret. I sang 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.' I tap-danced. I had a ten-gallon hat. It was quite absurd. Peter Dinklage Christmas
Christmas and the holidays are the season of giving. It's a time when people are more kind and open-hearted. Gisele Bundchen Christmas
The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.' Sometimes he finds a kind master who gives him a dry stall and an occasional bran mash in the form of a Christmas bonus, sometimes he falls into the hands of a mean owner who drives him in spite of spavins and expects him to live on potato peelings. A. J. Liebling Christmas
