Calvin Coolidge on Christmas

In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge penned the following letter, the first of its kind from the president to the American people on Christmas:

Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things there will be born in us a Savior and over us all will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world. 

I hope that during this Christmas season we all remember the true reason why we celebrate this time of year.
