265. The History of the Esoteric School 1904–1914, Volume Two: An Esoteric Session N/A

Rudolf Steiner
This current can also be strongly felt within the Society, and he hopes to have paralyzed it through the Christmas Conference. (See GA Bibl. No. 260) For he did not seek to maintain a certain parity of female and male spirit within the Executive Council without reason, since the tendencies are perceptible, as the female spirit is to be eliminated from old contexts.

Rudolf Steiner
Ita Wegman (1876-1943), who was studying in Zurich at the time, founded the Clinical Therapeutic Institute in Arlesheim in 1921, which led to intensive collaboration with Rudolf Steiner in the field of medicine. 1922-1923 on the Goetheanum's steering committee, from Christmas 1923 to 1935 on the founding board of the General Anthroposophical Society and head of the medical section.
262. Correspondence with Marie Steiner 1901–1925: 196. Letter to Marie Steiner on a eurythmy tour 31 May 1924, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
It is also true that in the current situation since the Christmas Conference, the board takes responsibility for such a matter. And this will certainly happen. Under no circumstances can the book delivery service be held responsible.
270. Esoteric Lessons for the First Class I: Second Hour 22 Feb 1924, Dornach
Translated by Frank Thomas Smith

Rudolf Steiner
And perhaps it would not be unimportant if a large number of our friends were to undertake something in this direction now. The Christmas Conference [1923] was to be the beginning of true esotericism pouring into the entire anthroposophical worldview stream, supported by the Anthroposophical Society. How often - one can ask - have I forgotten what I found to be quite beautiful during the Christmas Conference and in my thoughts and feelings continued as though the Anthroposophical Society were the same as it was before the Christmas Conference.
219. Man and the World of Stars: Moral Qualities and the Life after Death. Windows of the Earth. 01 Dec 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
It is what lives in the minds and hearts of men as I have just pictured it, that is of essential interest to these higher Beings; the Angels who look in through the Christmas windows are not interested in the speculations of professors; they overlook them. Nor, to begin with, are they much concerned with a man's thoughts.
So it is not so much whether we are foolish or clever on Earth that comes before the gaze of the Divine-Spiritual Beings at the time of Christmas, but simply whether we are good or evil men, whether we feel for others or are egoists. That is what is communicated to the cosmic worlds through the course of the yearly seasons. You may believe that our thoughts remain near the Earth, because I have said that the Angels and Archangels are not concerned with them when they look in through the Christmas windows. They are not concerned with our thoughts because, if I may use a rather prosaic figure of speech, they receive the richer coinage, the more valuable coinage that is minted by the soul-and-spirit of man.
343. Lectures on Christian Religious Work II: Twentieth Lecture 06 Oct 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Let us begin with the preparations for Christmas. I say what I am about to say with full awareness of how it must sound to modern man. You will find the most diverse deviations from what I have to say in the Catholic Church, but these are deviations that have arisen from misunderstandings over time.
We must therefore have a certain mood, which is the mood of expectation towards Christmas. This mood can only be expressed in color by everything that belongs to the chasuble being blue for this time.
But a mood of hope will have to find expression in the Christmas festival itself. It is the festival of expectation, it is the festival of hope, it is therefore the festival that must brighten, that must have a faint light in what was the earlier blue.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Essays from “German Weekly” Nr. 24 06 Jun 1888,

Rudolf Steiner
Approximately 96% of this is accounted for by military expenses and 29.7 million by the extraordinary armaments credit (of which ı6 million has already been used following the decision of the Crown Council at Christmas). The ordinary requirements of the army amounted to 115.9 million, the extraordinary 23.1 million and the Bosnian occupation credit 4.5 million.
284. Images of Occult Seals and Columns: Foreword

Hella Wiesberger

Rudolf Steiner
So the days for Stuttgart are also fixed externally. For Christmas, I leave everything to your discretion, my darling. I would just like to go to Pest if I have the things ready by then, and then I would like to have been in Horn once.
