Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.
–Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833–70)
Gather ’round the tree, it’s Christmas Day!
Good tidings of comfort and joy to you, our Almanac companions.
This past week, as we paged through old Almanacs, we came across three bits of wisdom to share . . .
❄️ In the spirit of Christmas, may we give of ourselves to bring happiness to others.
❄️ May we remember that we must be good neighbors to make good neighbors.
❄️ As it grows colder outside, may our hearts grow warmer within!
And as 2019 dawns, we wish all of our Almanac readers a very Happy New Year!
To quote the words of our founder,
“Start the year square with every man!”
–From all of us at The Old Farmer’s Almanac |
