LATIN CHRISTMAS CAROLS: Yes, it is the time for Latin Christmas carols again! I've re-opened the Christmas Carol blog for the month of December, with a holiday song in Latin for every day of the month, December 1 through December 31 - you can see them all now at Gaudium Mundo: Latin Christmas Carols. You can use the Javascript to include the Christmas carol of the day automatically each day on your webpage or blog, too, if you want.
Latin Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is Lucrum cum iactura famae damnum est, non lucrum (English: Profit, with the loss of reputation, is loss, not profit - a good saying for the folks of Wall Street to keep in mind!).

Today's grammar commentary is Fable 36: Equus et Asellus Onustus, the story of the horse who refused to help the donkey - and of the painful lesson he learned as a result! Here is Barlow's illustration for the story:
