After I went to the parade, I just noticed that there wasn't anything in the parade that had the Christmas message in it -- which was about the birth of Christ,

Let's dance and sing and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year.

[The theme of his upcoming album, which follows his short Christmas CD released last year, is] pretty much love, ... Not sexual love, but love as in 'love your neighbor.'

They spent the time to open everything up like Christmas morning in my living room.

Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.

Without the door let sorrow lie,
And if for cold it hap to die,
We'll bury 't in a Christmas pie,
And evermore be merry.
