One is Silver and the Other Gold
Measuring the Value of Holiday Traditions by Nan Zastrow:
Make new friends, but keep the old...one is silver and the other gold. How simple this verse is when you are young and life has not yet tarnished your view of the world. It was easy to accept that friends come in all sizes, all shapes, all nationalities, all creeds, and they accumulate through all our interactions in life. Whether those friendships were silver or gold friendships didn't really matter. We considered them both valuable. Like silver and gold friendships, we can invest wisely in holiday traditions - and discover that all that glitters is not gold. This cute little song became the inspiration for this Holiday Workshop.
