I have always thought of Christmas-time, when it has come round, as a good time, a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of in the long calendar year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut up hearts freely; and to think of people… And therefore, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and I will say, God bless it.” – Charles Dickens

I agree with Charles Dickens as far as Christmas is concerned - God bless it.
