18. You can't allow the forces of political correction to shut you up. I mean, why are people afraid to say, 'Merry Christmas?' Give me a break. If people don't like it, yeah, they can go do something else. -Ben Carson

19. Christmas and the holidays are the season of giving. It's a time when people are more kind and open-hearted. -Gisele Bundchen

20. If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love. -Robbie Fowler
