QUOTATION:Call a truce, then, to our labours—let us feast with friends and neighbours,
And be merry as the custom of our caste;
For if “faint and forced the laughter,” and if sadness follow after,
We are richer by one mocking Christmas past.
ATTRIBUTION:Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), British author, poet. Christmas in India.
