Wal-Mart doesn't really care about your faith. Wal-Mart cares if you have money to spend and it is going to be as generic as possible in exploiting the holiday season for every buck it can make.

I saw why people died and how they died. I saw gunshot wounds and liver failure. It was a good learning experience so I came regularly on weekends and holidays.

A systemic cleansing and detox is definitely the way to go after each holiday. It is the key to fighting high blood pressure heart disease cancer and other health-related illnesses.

I don't think I've had a holiday in my entire life that wasn't about my dad's work.

I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person this singer this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.

I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.

Since I'm always working my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family.

Holidays are the best. I couldn't imagine being from a small family.

After all the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself as to see all the other fellows busy working.

There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.

I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time I don't need holidays I just stop working.

For years I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate particularly to places which have amazing wildlife such as Antarctica India and Patagonia.

In our open society we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another.

'The Christmas Song ' by Nat King Cole is not only a masterful performance to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone.
