Christmas comes but once a year
Good things come in small packages
Cold turkey
Deck the halls
Be no angel
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
Bah! Humbug!
It’s the thought that counts
Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle
don’t be ungrateful when you receive a present, even if it’s not exactly what you wanted
decorating one’s hall with branches from a holly tree is an old tradition
nothing to do with eating leftovers from Christmas dinner but the sudden and complete withdrawal from an addictive substance
it’s the kindness behind an act that matters, however imperfect or insignificant it may be
this is sometimes said by people who aren’t fans of Christmas when confronted with holiday well-wishers
sometimes behave badly
used as an excuse for over indulgence, whether on food or on gifts, on the basis that it doesn’t happen often
the size of a gift doesn’t determine what’s inside; in the same way a small person may have a big heart
don’t get stressed out trying to make Christmas perfect
