Williamsburg Wreath 8,








Christmas is a-coming
and the geese are getting fat.
Please to put a penny in an old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny
then a ha penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha penny
then God Bless you.

I learned that from my Daddy's mother. I wonder if she learned it from her grandmother, Elizabeth Pyburn Grose who was born in London.

Today I saw bits of the another film version of Dicken's A Christmas Carol - about the fifth. I prefer the old black and white films, especiallly the ones from Great Britain.
