We no longer sing and dance. We don't know how to. Instead, we watch other people sing and dance on the television screen. Christmas, which was once a festival of active enjoyment, has turned into a binge of purely passive pleasures.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.

I've come to realize that people dance for reasons of their own.

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.

Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.

It's funny how we 'do' Christmas. Christmas is not something that we do, it is something that was done. It celebrates the long awaited arrival of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We had nothing to do with it, but what we can do is praise God for the coming of the Lord, who washed away the sins of the world by dying on the cross.

Every Christmas now for years, I have found myself wondering about the point of the celebration. As the holiday has become more ecumenical and secular, it has lost much of the magic that I remember so fondly from childhood.

Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.

When you're dancing, you're dancing for people to see.
