Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or dinner:

    Monday’s child is fair in face,
    Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
    Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
    Thursday’s child has far to go,
    Friday’s child is loving and giving,
    Saturday’s child works hard for its living;
    And a child that is born on a Christmas day,
    Is fair and wise, good and gay.
    Anonymous. Quoted in Traditions, Legends, Superstitions, and Sketches of Devonshire, vol. 2, ed. Anna E.K.S. Bray (1838)

    “Long for me the rick will wait,
    And long will wait the fold,
    And long will stand the empty plate,
    And dinner will be cold.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
