"Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!" -Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." -Charles Dickens

And a Very Happy & Healthy New Year to You & Your Loved Ones!
