“For many years, I’ve wanted to do one, and I’ve always mentioned it to the chieftains, and they would say things like, ‘Oh well. Christmas albums don’t sell,’ and things like that. But that’s not the point. Christmas albums are important. The music is important. The season is important.”- Aretha Franklin
“On the morning, Daddy and I get up at six o’clock because Christmas trees must be bought in the dark. We walk to the other end of town, as the big harbour is just the right setting for buying a Christmas tree. We spend hours choosing, looking at every branch suspiciously. It’s always cold.”- Tove Jansson
“Christmas and a cappella – what we learned really, really well is that they go extremely well together.”- Kevin Olusola (Pentatonix)
“The Swedish Christmas is definitely unique, even throughout Scandinavia. Like Christmas everywhere, it’s a very family-centered holiday.”- Marcus Samuelsson
“Mail your packages early so the post office can lose them in time for Christmas.”- Johnny Carson
