I know I've posted this in the past, but it can't hurt to do it again:
"I salute you! There is nothing I can give you which you have not got; but there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take.
No Heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it to-day. Take Heaven!
No Peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take Peace!
The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is Joy. Take Joy!
And so, at this Christmas time, I greet you; not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem, and with the prayer that for you, now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away."
- as adapted by the Christmas Revels from a piece attributed to Fra Giovanni Giocondo
