Holly and Mistletoe
Holly and mistletoe
Candles and bells,
I know the message
That each of you tells.
Ornament, tinsel, and
Striped candy cane
What you're suggesting
Is perfectly plain.
Though you are silent
It's really quite clear
That you all are telling me
Christmas is here.
Leland B. Jacobs
If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.
Marvin Gaye
At lavish Christmas feasts in the Middle Ages, swans and peacocks were sometimes served "endored." This meant the flesh was painted with saffron dissolved in melted butter. In addition to their painted flesh, endored birds were served wrapped in their own skin and feathers, which had been removed and set aside prior to roasting.
