The abundance of festive greenery that fills the house at Christmas was the inspiration behind this returning archive pattern.
One much-loved Christmas tradition is actually bringing a lot of green foliage into the house. A couple of days before Christmas Day, pick armfuls of all the green stuff you can find- Bay, Holly, Rosemary, Ivy and Mistletoe- work together to fashion wreaths - not just for the front door, and trailing swags to wind through the bannisters up the staircase; we put loose green bouquets in jugs, tuck sprigs above the pictures and along the mantelpiece- the more the better.
Choose your greenery well
Having selected your Christmas tableware wisely, be sure to choose your greenery well: holly for protection, ivy for friendship and mistletoe for plenty of kissing opportunities.
Holly for protection
Traditionally brought into the home for protection, holly’s glossy green leaves and bright red berries have long been a symbol of Christmas cheer.
Ivy for friendship
A symbol of friendship, fidelity and everlasting life, ivy brings a little wild, winding greenery to the Christmas home.
Mistletoe for plenty of kissing opportunities
Long associated with love, luck and friendship, mistletoe has one particularly festive tradition attached to it: plenty of kissing opportunities.
