Christmas Sayings for Stitching and Scrapbooking

The merry family gatherings-

The old, the very young:

The strangely lovely way they

Harmonize in carols sung.

For Christmas is tradition time-

Traditions that recall

The precious memories down the years,

The sameness of them all.

* * * * * * * * * *

The magic of Christmas never ends. It's the greatest of gifts are family and friends.

* * * * * * * * * *

From home to home, from heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy at Christmas brings us closer to each other.

* * * * * * * * * *

Christmas is a time when you get homesick even when you're home.

* * * * * * * * * *

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

* * * * * * * * * *

Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends.

May the closeness of friends, the comfort of home, and the unity of the nation, renew your spirits this holiday season.

May all the sweet magic of Christmas conspire to gladden your heart and fill every desire.

* * * * * * * * * *

May the Christmas season fill your home with joy, your heart with love and your life with laughter.

Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly wonderful Christmas.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer.

* * * * * * * * * *

Love was born on Christmas morn.

* * * * * * * * * *

Though we're apart you're in my heart. This Christmas and always.

Christmas is the keeping place for memories of our innocence.

* * * * * * * * * *

Blled is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

* * * * * * * * * *

Remember the reason for the season.

* * * * * * * * * *

As we thank God for His many blessings this Christmas, let us also pray for Peace on Earth.

Christmad is love with all the trimmings.

* * * * * * * * * *

One of the joys of the Holiday Season is the opportunity to say thank you and to wish you the very best New Year.

* * * * * * * * * *

Somehow, not only for Christmas

but all the long year through,

the joy that you give to others,

is the joy that comes back to you. \

And the more you spend in blessing,

the poor and lonely and sad, the more of your hearts possessing,

returns to you glad.

* * * * * * * * * * *

The gift of love.

The gift of peace.

The gift of happiness.

May all of these be yours at Christmas.

* * * * * * * * * *

Christmas is love with all the trimmings.

* * * * * * * * * *

I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all year long.

I thought I would leave you with a few ideas on what to do with those little pieces if cross stitch,

• One of the ideas that I personally like is to make a mini pillow to hang out on a shelf.
• I also love making them into a Christmas ornament to hang on my tree.
• They also make great knob hangers.
• You can gather a few of them together and make a collage,
• Stitch one on a coin purse
• Put one on a pocket.
• Make it into a potholder
• Make one into a personal card for that someone special
• use it in a scrapbook
