In France, Christmas is a family holiday. You stay home. New Year’s Eve is when you go out Picture Quote #1

I prefer Christmas, which is everybody’s holiday. It’s just my nature. I don’t like to be zeroed in on en masse Picture Quote #1

My favorite holiday memory was sitting at home all day in my pajamas during winter break for school watching a bunch of old Christmas movies like ‘Jack Frost’ and ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ with my siblings and parents Picture Quote #1

Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday Picture Quote #1

Christmas is a joyous holiday season to celebrate get togethers; but take a moment to celebrate the true meaning that brought about the iconic joyous season Picture Quote #1

My idea of a perfect holiday is spending time with the family, waking up on Christmas morning or Thanksgiving morning, watching football all day, having the family come over, people you haven’t seen Picture Quote #1

The concerted effort to minimize Christmas has resulted in it being our national Happy Holiday holiday. The Christmas season is now the holiday season. Christmas parties are now holiday parties. Christmas is a time for giving and receiving presents and in many homes, nothing more. Who is this fellow, Jesus Christ, anyway? Picture Quote #1

I long to look at my holiday season with eyes that see the Christ in Christmas Picture Quote #1

I love all holiday music. My two favorites would probably be Donny Hathaway’s This Christmas and Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song. They epitomize Christmas for me. Those two recordings will never be touched. That’s why I’ve never redone them Picture Quote #1

Two brothers and a sister, my niece, my nephew... we’re a very small group. We’re very close, very tight-knit. We spend every holiday weekend together Picture Quote #1

If it hadn’t worked out professionally, I would be teaching music theory and composition in a small college somewhere and playing drums in a jazz trio at the Holiday Inn on weekends, and I’d be happy there, too Picture Quote #1

A holiday is for kindness, compassion, love, and holiness; it is not for laziness or craziness Picture Quote #1

I can only say the first thing that pops into my mind is I remember, years ago, seeing kind of a has-been country singer working - when I first moved to Nashville - in a bar in a Holiday Inn Picture Quote #1

Some people think that going on a caravan holiday is a slightly more upscale version of camping. Let me assure you, it is much better than that. You know that you will have your creature comforts wherever you are. I never have to pack light, and I can put the kettle on in any location Picture Quote #1

I’ve never understood activity holidays since we seem to have far too much activity in our daily lives as it is. Find a culture where loafing is the order of the day and where they don’t understand our need to be constantly doing things. Find somewhere you can have a hammock holiday Picture Quote #1

Though President Grover Cleveland declared Labor Day a national holiday in 1894, the occasion was first observed on Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City Picture Quote #1

Valentine’s Day - a nice holiday because it’s the first day of the rest of your wife Picture Quote #1

Passover is my idea of a perfect holiday. Dear God, when you’re handing out plagues of darkness, locusts, hail, boils, flies, lice, frogs, and cattle murrain, and turning the Nile to blood and smiting the firstborn, give me a pass. And tell me when it’s over Picture Quote #1

Holiday binge-buying has deep roots in American culture: department stores have been associating turkey gluttony with its spending equivalent since they began sponsoring Thanksgiving Day parades in the early 20th century Picture Quote #1

When I lived in Beijing in 1996, it was a horizontal city. If you wanted to go out for a burger, if you wanted to really treat yourself, you went to this place called the Jianguo Hotel. The architect had proudly described it as a perfect replica of a Holiday Inn that he had seen in Palo Alto, California Picture Quote #1

The reason I did the book about holidays is that you’re a different person on holiday. You’re sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, knocking about with people you’ve never met and for 10 days you’re someone else. You’re out of your comfortable zone Picture Quote #1

Instead of waiting until the holiday season - when mail solicitations flood in from worthy organizations - and making a flurry of gifts because this is the time of year to give, sit down and take stock. Identify your passion, learn about it, and direct your time, mind, and dollars to aligned causes and organizations Picture Quote #1

Solitude is the soul’s holiday, an opportunity to stop doing for others and to surprise and delight ourselves instead Picture Quote #1

You see. . . it’s really quite strenuous doing nothing all day, so once a week we take a holiday and go nowhere, which was just where we were going when you came along. Would you care to join us? Picture Quote #1

They don’t mind it: its a reg’lar holiday to them - all porter and skittles Picture Quote #1

Purim, one of my favorite holidays. It’s like the original drag queen’s holiday. It’s when all the Jewish men go for it and feel no guilt for a change Picture Quote #1

Being poor with three small children is terrifying. You can’t make any plans. You know you’re not going on holiday, ever. There’s no way you could ever afford driving lessons or a car. And the guilt I used to feel: they had holes in their shoes, and at one point, I had to send them to school wearing Wellingtons when the sun was shining Picture Quote #1
