Page 7 - the Noise December 2017

The xmas holidays have this high value: that they remind Forgetters of the Forgotten, & repair damaged relationships.
There is something good and motherly about Washington, the grand old benevolent National Asylum for the helpless.
The approach of Christmas brings harassment and dread to many excellent people. They have to buy a cart-load of presents, and they never know what to buy to hit the various tastes; they put in three weeks of hard and anxious work, and when Christmas morning comes they are so dissatisfied with the result, and so disappointed that they want to sit down and cry. Then they give thanks that Christmas comes but once a year.
Do something every day that you don’t want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.
