Those who apply themselves too closely to little things, such as purchasing Christmas candles, a Christmas wreath, and butter for all the Christmas baking-to-come, often become incapable of great things, such as buying an actual Christmas tree.
We have not enough strength to follow all our inclinations to buy a Christmas tree.
If we had a Christmas tree we should not complain of the Christmas fervor of others, including their Christmas trees.
If we had no faults, such as the procrastination of buying a Christmas tree, we should not take so much pleasure in noting the faults of others, such as, I don't know, what Christmas-related folly have you committed?
(via La Rochefoucauld)
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
ReplyDeleteThy leaves are green forever.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy beauty leaves thee never.
Thy leaves are green in summer's prime,
Thy leaves are green at Christmas time.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy leaves are green forever.
Love you!
GET IT TODAY! NO EXCEPTIONS! :D :D
remember you love me..
I have not purchased any candles and I'm not done with my shopping. And I need to make more cookies. But I don't fault you for not buying stuff, like trees and wreaths. Maybe you should stay inside and drink tea...
ReplyDeleteTree. GET IT. You'll be glad you did. I have not yet bought my husband a thing. Anything.
