Christmas Pretties Day 21

[nakeisha]

Each year on the Winter Solstice I try to find a picture that depicts both the Solstice and Christmas. This year it was somewhat more challenging than in previous years, as I have been using Christmas cards we were sent last year. And finding one that fitted wasn't all the straight-forward

😮 That is absolutely gorgeous!!!

[nakeisha]

Oh, good. I'm delighted you like it so much.

I think it depicts both quite well, especially the Solstice and Yule.

[nakeisha]

Oh, good. I'm pleased you think it depicts both the Solstice & Yule.

That is so beautiful! I love stained glass and the rich detail and coloring is brilliant!

Aaaand now I have that song stuck in my head. :-)

I mean, seriously, it's a variant of the Holly and the Ivy. Here it is being sung by the Clancy Brothers: The Holly Tree

You've hit on one of my fascinations - unusual Christmas/Yule/winter carols!

Oh, good. I'm glad you find this beautiful. Stained glass can be lovely and I agree this is very lovely indeed and as you say rich in colour and detail.

Oh, dear. I am sorry to hear you have that song stuck in your head.

Oh, yes, I know this and have it. Not with the Clancy Brothers singing it, but I do have it. I can see how you got it stuck in your head.

Oh, have I? That's lovely to know.

No worries about having the song stuck in my head - it's such a lovely one that I don't mind!

And ooh, I'm glad to hear you have it too!

[nakeisha]

It is indeed a lovely one.

I have a fair bit of Christmas music; this one is lovely.

Oooo, I love stained glass.

[nakeisha]

It can be very lovely.
