Surely happiness is reflective, like the
light of heaven; and every countenance, bright with smiles, and
glowing with innocent enjoyment, is a mirror transmitting to others
the rays of a supreme and ever-shining benevolence. He who can turn
churlishly away from contemplating the felicity of his
fellow-beings, and can sit down darkling and repining in his
loneliness when all around is joyful, may have his moments of strong
excitement and selfish gratification, but he wants the genial and
social sympathies which constitute the charm of a merry Christmas.
