"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."
"I will miss Walter Stoessel's wise counsel."
"May our prayers this Christmas call forth that serenity of heart and confidence in the future that are the best of all possible gifts."
