One of my favorites! :o) The second verse is my very favorite. I love the image it conjures up for me...The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flower And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Saviour
Thanks for the beautiful poem and culture this Tuesday morning. We're freezing our Tookus' off...it's 14F in the Upstate of SC! Happy Tuesday! :o)
Oh, Betty, you have such a lovely singing voice! I so enjoyed that rendition!!! (As you can imagine, I sang along with you! Crazy blog lady! . . . that's me . . . and you.) ;) LOVE the pics.
I love the song. Incidentally, a group of friends call themselves Hollies and Ivy choir. Ivy happens to be the name of the conductor herself. Happy Hols to you and your family.
Oh I simply adore holly. My daughter had a paper route when she was young. - You know, the one where she's going to make a million dollars delivering seventy million papers, and Mom has to get up at 3 AM to drive her around?! - One morning while waiting in the car, while she ran the half mile in the snow up a long drive in the woods, I realized she had been gone far too long. She finally appeared, covered in snow, which would subsequently melt and soak her to the bone, hair all askew, but with a gorgeous handful of holly. She had seen it off in the woods and went after it. Ever since we have had fresh holly at Christmas. This year my son had to buy two plants, as we are in the city. But darn if we don't have holly!!

Beautiful poem and pictures - a great start to a chilly Tuesday!
My pyracantha berries are disappearing so fast that none will make it inside for decorations I am afraid. At least the birdies are happy.
Lovely song for you to sing.I had almost forgotten about it.
Great pics. Good way to start the day.
Wonderful poem and pictures. Thanks for giving inspiration always! :)
WOW, that was a warm thought I needed on this sub-zero morn :)

Those are beautiful photos.
Our church pianist sang that song last year and I still get it stuck in my head. I don't even know the words other than "the holly and the ivy."

Holly and ivy are very pretty together, and separately. xo
I have a recording of that song sung by Natalie Cole and gees, is it beautiful. Love that song this time of year.

Ivy is one of my favorite plants!

So pretty. (I'll admit, I skipped past the poetry part and went straight to the pictures. Heck, at least I'm honest, eh? I'm such a kid.)
