12 Quotations of Christmas

Post-Christmas Day is often a quieter time of year for many, when the demands of work and routine are put aside and we enjoy time with family and friends and generally recover from the busyness and 'non-stop-ness' of life.

For that reason, for the last few years I have marked the 12 days of Christmas with 12 blogs designed to provoke thought and reflection and get us set up for the new year. 

This year I thought I'd do something a little different.

So starting tomorrow are '12 Quotations of Christmas'. Short, bitesize, hopefully thought-provoking and praise-instilling chunks of wisdom.

Hope you enjoy them.

To get you started, here's a quotation about quotations...

A fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
