December 21st. (St. Thomas's Day.)
St. Thomas grey St. Thomas grey,
The longest night and the shortest day.
Look at the weathercock on St. Thomas's Day at twelve o'clock, and see which way the wind is, and there it will stick for the next three months.
Warwickshire.
There is never a Saturday in the year
But what the sun it doth appear.
If birds pipe afore Christmas they'll greet after.
