Day 4 - December 4

Celebrate the 25 Days of Christmas

By Esther Lombardi, About.com

It's the fourth day of December. It's International Hugging Day. Take a look at the reading selection for today.

What do writers say?

"Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself."
- Francis C. Farley
