"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases;  it will never
Pass into nothingness;  but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing."

~ John Keats (1795 - 1821)  Endymion (1818) bk.i, 1.1

"Christmas is coming

And the geese are getting fat,

Please put a penny in the old man's hat,

If you haven't got a penny,

A ha' penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha' penny ~

God bless you!

~ Old rhyme

After all there's nothing like a good book ~

"Unpacking the ornaments is like opening a box of memories.  Many of the decorations bring to mind a special time or place or person.  The tree will soon be laden with ornaments collected over the years, each with its own story to tell.  When we have finished decorating, the shining evergreen creates a magic that we are never too old to enjoy."
