Recipe for the Christmas Spirit
First, take 2 cups of Love to which has been added 1 cup of Tenderness. Simmer gently. Stir in 1 cup of the Milk of Kindness, 1 cup of the fruit of Sacrifice, 1 cup of the richness of Giving and 1 cup of Holy Quietness. Sift together a dash of Gaiety, a generous amount of Cheerfulness and 1 quart of Childish Laughter. Mix thoroughly.
To preserve this mixture, fold in extra Love with a lavish hand, for Love is the preservative that keeps the Christmas spirit fresh from day to day and year to year! Pack lightly in human hears so it will spill over often. You will have Christmas spirit to last the whole year through. When next Christmas comes around, all you have to do is stir lightly with a bit of enthusiasm borrowed from a child, and the mixture will bubble and expand to overflowing again.
