The Holly And The Ivy

December 24, 2009 By Carole

holly and the ivy

It’s Eye Candy Friday on Thursday, my friends.

Today I will be cooking and prepping for a house full of family and friends tonight, Christmas Eve. Tomorrow we’ll open gifts with our children and then go to Dale’s brother’s house for Christmas dinner.  On Saturday, I may not even get out of my pajamas!

Merry Christmas to all!

    This is the most stunning photo of holly and ivy that I have seen! I am particularly taken with this combination of plants as my name is Holly and I named my daughter Ivy.
    Thanks for the great blog and Happy Holidays
