William Makepeace Thackeray

« All quotes from this author
 

Christmas is here:
Winds whistle shrill,
Icy and chill.
Little care we;
Little we fear
Weather without,
Sheltered about
The Mahogany Tree.
--
The Mahogany Tree, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

It's friendly giants full of fun
Clapping their hands together.
