Christmas--that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.--Augusta E. Rundel
Signs of Christmas Everywhere
In France, Christmas is called Noel. This is derived from the French phrase les bonnes nouvelles, which means literally "the good news" and refers to the gospel.
