Editor’s Note: The following Christmas message was addressed “To the American people” by President Calvin Coolidge from the White House on Dec. 25, 1927.
“Christmas is not a time or a season, but a state of mind.
To Cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior, and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.”
Calvin Coolidge
