"When I began assembling [this] collection, I was skeptical
that I would learn anything new about Christmas, but reading
and reflecting on the history and spirit of Christmas
brought back many memories, and taught me a great deal #133;
The literature of Christmas ranges from the miraculous to
the tragic, the profound to the ridiculous, but always
represents the connection to something larger than
ourselves." -Caroline Kennedy

prose, scriptural readings, and lyrics that are most dear to
