Merry Christmas!

While possibly the most "popular" Christian holiday, Christmas has also evolved into a secular celebration observed in many parts of the world.

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis

Wishing All of You the Best of Joy, the Best of Cheer for Christmas and the Coming Year
!

Burton Hillis is the pseudonym of William E. ("Bill") Vaughan (October 8, 1915 – February 25, 1977), an American columnist and author. He wrote a syndicated column for the Kansas City Star from 1946 until his death in 1977.

Amongst his many other folksy aphorisms is this New Year message :

"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves."
