"It's time to push the button used by every President since Calvin Coolidge in lighting our National Christmas Tree."
"For in this Christmas season, you remind us all of the greatest gift we can give to each other is the gift of ourselves."
"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."
