"Twigs of Holly" reminds me of a time when I live in England.
It's a good memory and I thank you for taking me back there.

Merry Christmas Mary Ann!

So refreshing to dwell in your poem of an era now long gone. We can learn a lot by studying your poem for some of the classic steps seen in your offering of the holidays are no longer practiced these days. What a pity! A lovely glimpse into the past.
