Literature Snippet…

It is, indeed, the season of regenerated feeling–

the season for kindling,

not merely the fire of hospitality in the hall,

but the genial flame of charity in the heart.

~Washington Irving, Old Christmas

Literature Snippet…

The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow,

while some trees of the tenderer kind

had been nipped by the frosts

into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.

~Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
