		The most that we can do for one another is care. The supply of love will never exceed the demand, but it should. Christmas is more like spring than winter; and because the name itself means mass for Christ, there isn’t any reason this holiday or holy day should not be celebrated all year long.

CHRISTMAS PAST		I loved your face on Christmas Eve, though it was framed by such a noisy crowd. Seeing your eyes dance and dance in my direction was how I came to know you. Seeing you beyond the tree and only later on beyond my reach was how I came to love you. And if you loved my face as much as you love Christmas. I’d be safe from year to year. The same anticipation that you hold for holidays would smother me, and glad I’d be to die so loved. -from “The Carols of Christmas,” 1971
