George Washington's Rules

1. Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present. 

2. Show nothing to your friend that may affright him.

3. In the presence of others, sing not to yourself with a humming voice, or drum with your fingers or feet. 

4. If you cough, sneeze, sigh or yawn, do it not loud but privately, and speak not in your yawning, but put your handkerchief or hand before your face and turn aside. 

5. Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not on when others stop. 

6. At play and attire, it's good manners to give place to the last comer, and affect not to speak louder than ordinary. 

7. Spit not into the fire, nor stoop low before it; neither put your hands into the flames to warm them, nor set your feet upon the fire, especially if there be meat before it. 

8. When you sit down, keep your feet firm and even, without putting one on the other or crossing them. 

9. Shift not yourself in the sight of others, nor gnaw your nails. 

10. Shake not the head, feet, or legs; roll not the eyes; lift not one eyebrow higher than the other, wry not the mouth, and bedew no man's face with your spittle by approaching too near him when you speak.

This December I wenteth to my relatives' fine establishment. We shared in roast meat, delectable bread, and fine desserts. It hath become clear to me that I enjoy the holiday season. I spoketh with my relatives and had a wonderful time. At a late hour we attended a cinema show. It was my first time watching a show at a movie theater on Christmas. I had the pleasure of seeing Annie.
