A quotation from Addison

Good-nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty. It shows virtue in the fairest light, takes off in some measure from the deformity of vice, and makes even folly and impertinence supportable.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-09-13), The Spectator, No. 169

A quotation from Byron:

«
But I digress: of all appeals, — although I
I grant the power of pathos, and of gold,
Of beauty, flattery, threats, a shilling, — no
Method’s more sure at moments to take hold
Of the best feelings of mankind, which grow
More tender, as we every day behold,
Than that all-softening, overpowering knell,
The tocsin of the soul — the dinner-bell.

A quotation from Rabelais, Francois:

«
Good friends, my Readers, who peruse this Book,
Be not offended, whilst on it you look:
Denude yourself of all depraved affection,
For it contains no badness, nor infection:
‘Tis true that it brings forth to you no birth
Of any value, but in point of mirth;
Thinking therefore how sorrow might your mind
Consume, I could no apter subject…

A quotation from Beecher, Henry Ward:

«««««
Mirth is God’s medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it. Grim care, moroseness, anxiety — all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. It is better than emery. Every man ought to rub himself with it.

There are no exact directions. There are probably no directions at all.

A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful and wit good-natured. It will lighten sickness, poverty and affliction, convert ignorance into an amiable simplicity, and render deformity itself agreeable.

Maquis wishes you all the best of the season, whatever that is for you, from Solstice to St Lucia, from holidays to festivals of lights.
For us it will be Merry Christmas.
For Maquis, it will be the season of log fire and treats.

Joyeux Fete to all on Mastodon.

Seo rudín Nollaigiúil inteach le Charles Dickens atá aistrithe ón Sacs-Bhéarla agamsa:

‘Dá mbeadh mo thoil déanta, bheireofaí gach uile amadán a bhíonn ag siúl thart agus “Nollaig shona!” ar a bhéal mar aon lena chuidse maróige agus d’adhlacfaí é le cuaille as cuillin trína chroí.’

Any errors or infelicities of translation remain Dickens’s own bloody fault.

I trust this answers @seatrout's question about my Christmas spirit.

Don't have any up yet. I think of it as lighting the darkest time of year, more pagan than anything else. I love dark, but also light. #GoodCheer.
