There is a better thing the observance of Christmas Day,
and that is Keeping Christmas.

Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people
and remember what other people have done for you?

To ignore what the world owes you,
and think what you owe the world?

To admit that the only good reason for your existence is
not what you are going to get out of life,
but what you are going to give to life?

Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs
and desire of little children?

To remember the weakness and loneliness
of people who are growing old?

To stop asking how much your friends like you?
and ask yourself where you Love them enough?

To try to understand what those who live
in the same house with you really want,
without waiting for them to tell 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 even for a day?
Then you can Keep Christmas.

Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest
thing in the world…stronger than hate, stronger than evil,
stronger than death?…Then you can keep Christmas.

And if you keep it for a day, why not always?

But you can never keep it alone.
