Holly For Us All.

I love Christmas Time and have always done so from way back to when it was my first born's very first Christmas .

As my family grew I loved it even more ;money was very tight so I used to buy and hide away throughout the year.I was as excited as my children were.

I will always remember hearing Leah and Erin talking in their bedroom when they were small . Erin the younger of the two asks Leah if she believed in Father Christmas and Leah replies "Of course there is ;Mam would never have enough money to buy us all those presents that we have!" "Oh great because so and so said in school that there wasn't Santa ;I am so glad there is!!!"was Erin's sweet reply.

That moment will stay in my heart forever.

Today my children are parents themselves and they follow as I did and collect pressies all year round ;visiting them on Christmas day brings back all those wonderful memories !!

This year I am for some reason taking a few trips down Memory Lane, not with foreboding gloom but I look back and compare it all with the life I have today!!

Those Christmas days when I was small with no pressies and I immediately move forward to the wonderful Christmases I had with my children and I am thankful that I was able to do this.

Today this is what I do with my whole life ;I look at what I have today and nothing else's is of no importance anymore.I feel so wealthy, so lucky and will always be so appreciative of all the wonderful things that I am surrounded by today and forevermore.

I love Holly and always manage to get some fresh each year; here I share with you what I find so special in this plant and it's nostalgic magical charm and beauty.

Each red berry

a sign of true love

like that silken taste of mulled red wine

seductive

and oh so very real.

A feeling of warmth that only true love brings.........................

Those green leaves adding

that lustre

that sheen

to a love

in its infancy........................

Promises flow from other nature's heart.

that sense of smooth maturity

relishing in a love so true

so ripe

so sure.

Heartfelt emotions so promised and now relished................

Each prickling edge

keeping invaders at bay

a protection for all that is true .

That potion of magic guarded for life

into each eternal bliss.....................

Each foe met with

strong and powerful

thorns.

Each thorn so true to its promise

to allow new love

to grow

to thrive

never easing in its protection..................

Until this new love has matured into a love

so sure

so grounded

until recognised

as a deep rooted love

that no-one will

steal

no-one will

overcome ........................

So safely cocooned into that true life so rich

so awesome and then smoothly flows into eternal bliss.

To find our place

in a love so pure

blessing us with grace

each shadow a blessing

each sunrise a blessing.....................................

Hearts beating in simultaneous pride.

We never lost our place

in darkness you were my guiding star my hero my true love..............................

To the gifts of one Holly Tree

We owe so much to thee.

In splendour you share your heartfelt and unique love for all!

Diolch I Ti Fy Nghoeden Celyn Fach.(Thank You My Little Holly Tree)............................................

A Christmas Holly

holds onto each rich promise

and eventually shares each love story................................

A Christmas Love.

As I so happily sing

A warm Christmas song

Today I have found you

My heart never wrong.

I hope that you enjoyed today's hub; I was deliberating on whether to add a Christmas song but decided it is just a little early so a song on true love was more fitting in my mind!!

I wish you all a wonderful day to come.

Lots of love

Eddy.
