Happy Holidays Hol ly, hol ly, it was the hol ly And joy, what joy, at this time can be. Part of holly has a berry as white as the milk. Pretty garlands on the tree are gold, lace, white and silk. Yule season was the reason, for happiness you see. Hol ly, hol ly, it was the hol ly. Oh, joy, what joy, at this time can be. Lights are glowing so brightly, it seems like a dream. Incandescent clear wonders, that all around gleam. Dear ones who we love so, are gathered nearby. Angels sing heaven’s melodies, from up in the sky. Yes, oh yes, it was the hol ly Shout joy, what joy, at this time can be 12/24/16 Based on the tune of The "Sans Day Carol" or "St. Day Carol" one of the many Cornish Christmas carols written in the 19th century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFiVSiTrHGg Winter-Related Acrostic Poem Sponsored by: Janice Canerdy
