Description: Personally, I am happy to reduce Christmas in all its commercial exaggeration and hyper-inflation to three lovely days, Christmas Eve and Day and Boxing Day. Of these, Christmas Eve is my favourite as, for me, it's the beginning of a celebration, the moment when one can really let go and indulge in celebrating rebirth and renewal at this darkest time of the year.We always decorate our home with holly and sumberqq ivy, draping, hanging and twining so the house is wreathed like a prickly bower. Monty says he always decorates his home with holly and ivy, draping, hanging and twining so the house is wreathed like a prickly bowerSo inevitably the refrain ‘The holly and the ivy' runs through my head as I gather them from the garden.Although we link ivy and holly together, ivy actually only appears twice in the entire carol, in the first line and again in the final verse. Apart from those mentions, all the focus is on holly.
