The Holly and the Ivy

[anteros_lmc]

Here's to holly and ivy hanging up, and something wet in every cup.
Think I might have overdone the greenery a bit this year... :}


Thanks to _likimeya (love the star, can you spot it on the tree? :), latin_cat (excellent taste in cards), katriona_s (love the picture of you and eglantine_br, thank you sooo much!) and joyful_molly (I'm still giggling...) for the lovely cards, and to mylodon, nodbear and esteven for the presents which are sitting under the tree and being poked on a regular basis!

Lovely, warm and very Christmasy. I think it is just about perfect.

I should add that the garlands come complete with wildlife! It's not unknown to find beasties abseiling down on top of your head it you're sitting on the couch underneath them :}

Poke poke pokey! That's what pressies are for. Looks lovely.

Partner gives me a terrible row for poking at presents. Doesn't stop me though ;)

What a beautiful tree! Dr Maturin wants to know, what is in the big red parcel to the right? A life-size Jack Aubrey doll????
HE wants to unwrap it! *g*

*sighs* Your pictures are always perfect. And there can never be too much green, dear :)

PS: Have you ever considered making a living from designing postcards??? :)

Glad you like the greenery! I am not sure what's in the box, it's from MiL. I have had a poke and I suspect it is a box of food and such like.

(Stephen and Jack usually have pride of place on the mantelpiece, but they have been packed away for Christmas to make way for the greenery. Heaven knows what they are getting up to in their box ;)

Nah, I'm afraid my pics are mediocre at best. I don't even have a proper camera, all these are taken with my mobile phone :}

Awwww... The candelabra :) What they are getting up to in their box? Making beautiful music, of course *g*

Allow me to disagree: For made 'only' with your mobile they are really good!!!

*off to squee a bit more over the candelabra and the instruments* *squee*

This looks ridiculously festive. I like the excess of greenery :-)

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Thank you m'dear. I like it too :) I am also a complete cheapskate and can't be arsed dying expensive Christmas garlands XD

That's really lovely and welcoming. I particularly love the fireplace. And there is no such thing as overdoing greenery!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

I'm inclined to agree :) There is a very overgrown and neglected park not far from the river, I reckon no one will mind if I help them prune the shrubbery there once a year :)

:3 Bottom right, beside the "wonderland", right? (What's a wonderland, precious?) I feel honoured!
I love the garlands. There is no such thing as too much green in the house!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Well spotted! And very pretty it looks there too :)

What's a wonderland, precious?
I have no idea, but I believe wonderlands are for walking in.....Winter Wonderland ;)
