Ronald Reagan actually said...

"It's time to push the button used by every President since Calvin Coolidge in lighting our National Christmas Tree."

"Christmas is a time of happiness and cheer, a time of peace and good will and glad tidings."

"On one special day of the year nature itself seems to join the angel choirs and little children and all mankind in a great and solemn celebration."

"I hereby certify that the withholding of funds to multilateral development banks and other international organizations and programs is contrary to the national interest."
