Quotes About Holidays

Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi—Christmas with your own, Easter with whomever you wish.
~ Frances Mayes
My family is certainly very vocal. They're very Italian. A lot of our holidays end with people screaming at each other across the room. And everyone's very opinionated and intelligent. A lot of my aunts and uncles are wildly educated, and their opinions reflect that. We're all very liberal.
~ Chris Evans
I've enjoyed so many fantastic holidays over the years, but some of my best have been in Thailand.

Cultural memory constitutes the stories, events, people, and other phenomena that a society chooses to remember as the building blocks of its collective identity. A nation's gods, its heroes, its villains, its landmarks, its art, its music, its holidays—all these things are part of its cultural memory.

What good was a love affair that ended with the last train to the country, and Christmas presents that had to be given the day before Christmas because holidays were family times, and knowing that you would still be as alone as before because you could never telephone the man you loved when you needed him?
~ Rona Jaffe
Less is technically Christian. There is really no other word for someone who celebrates Christmas and Easter, even if only as craft projects.
~ Andrew Sean Greer
Oh, California! The statistically impossible blondness; the ubiquity of sunglasses, as if everyone has just been to the ophthalmologist; the non-native date palms that, like many non-natives, seem positively patriotic about their newfound country; the pretense of sun and warmth in chill October, such as here, in Eleanor's convertible, where, to counteract the cold, she has turned the heat up high. It feels to Less like the kind of deep act of denial seen only at family holidays.
~ Andrew Sean Greer
Holidays are all different depending on the company and time of your life.
~ Dominic Monaghan
Stimulation is even more complicated because the same stimulus can have different meanings for different people. A crowded shopping mall at Christmastime may remind one person of happy family shopping excursions and create a warm holiday spirit. But another person may have been forced to go shopping with others, tried to buy gifts without enough money and no idea of what to purchase, had unhappy memories of past holidays, and so suffers intensely in malls at Christmas.
~ Elaine N. Aron
Orphans, dead parents, lonely children at Christmas, morose spoken word recordings, everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven.
~ April Winchell
Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.

I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!
~ Joe Nichols
I celebrate three holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Telluride.
~ Chris Thile
Please to put a nickel, please to put a dime. How petitions trickle in at Christmas time!
~ Phyllis McGinley
Let your holidays be associated with great public events, and they may be the life of patriotism as well as a source of relaxation and personal employment.
~ Tryon Edwards
In real life, holidays are extremely stressful. They're the best of times and worst of times because you have got people trying to get along with people that you don't always get along with.
~ Will Packer
The Christians have made holidays which are used mostly for commercialization. They buy wine, whiskey and beer and fatten up pigs and hogs for the kill and roast this divinely-prohibited flesh to celebrate what the Christians call the birthday of the Son of Mary. Jesus condemned such things as drunkenness and the eating of swine flesh.
~ Elijah Muhammad
I love London in the rare parts of the year when it's quiet, and no time is more reliably quiet than the week between Christmas and New Year.
~ John Lanchester
When I first came out, holidays were hard. I reached a point where I didn't go home anymore. I constructed my own, kind of like, family group around Christmas.

London is a great place to be over Christmas.
~ Bill Bailey
