“ARE YOU READY FOR CHRISTMAS?
Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs
and desires of little children; to remember the weak-
nesses and loneliness of people who are growing old;
to stop asking how much your friends love you, and
to ask yourself whether you have loved them enough;
to bear in mind the things that other people have to
bear on their hearts; to trim your lamp so that it will
give more light and less smoke, and to carry it in
front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to
make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden
for your kindly feelings, with the gate open? Are you
willing to do these things for a day?
THEN YOU ARE READY FOR CHRISTMAS!”
