Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
Charles Dickens

@vonny,
Most of life's experiences are delusions, so enjoying the holidays is the only reality most of us enjoy with family and friends.
“Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.”

“I felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas, as if whatever it was the pine boughs and the candles and the silver and gilt-ribboned presents and the birch-log fires and the Christmas turkey and the carols at the piano promised never came to pass.”
― Sylvia Plath

“I like words. I like fat buttery words, such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous, toady. I like solemn, angular, creaky words, such as straitlaced, cantankerous, pecunious, valedictory. I like spurious, black-is-white words, such as mortician, liquidate, tonsorial, demi-monde. I like suave “V” words, such as Svengali, svelte, bravura, verve. I like crunchy, brittle, crackly words, such as splinter, grapple, jostle, crusty. I like sullen, crabbed, scowling words, such as skulk, glower, scabby, churl. I like Oh-Heavens, my-gracious, land’s-sake words, such as tricksy, tucker, genteel, horrid. I like elegant, flowery words, such as estivate, peregrinate, elysium, halcyon. I like wormy, squirmy, mealy words, such as crawl, blubber, squeal, drip. I like sniggly, chuckling words, such as cowlick, gurgle, bubble and burp.”
― Robert Pirosh
@edgarblythe,
"Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!"~ Bob Marley
'If you continue to dance in the theater of vanity and pride, then the only applause you will ever get is the recognition in others that you really are a fool.'

“Technology to wipe out truth is now available. Not everybody can afford it but it's available. When the cost comes down, look out!”
― Bob Dylan
Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

@vonny,
Not for the millions slaughtered by the USA and the poodles, Vonny. Not for the
parents raising deformed children caused by USA chemical WMDs.
@vonny,
I don't think, vonny, that AS is quite up your street.

Arthur had you in mind, Iz.

He who writes carelessly confesses thereby at the very outset that he does not attach much importance to his own thoughts.
