The Holly and the Ivy

We have a disintegrating book of Christmas carols which I can't bring myself to get rid of because it's nice and playable. Most of the carols are old standbys, but The Holly and the Ivy has an unfamiliar tune, one I'd never heard anywhere else. But lo, the choir at King's College, Cambridge has a lovely arrangement of this unusual setting.



Merry Christmas to all from the Darwins.

    If Ivy had had a twin sister, I would've named her Holly...

    Lovely! Merry Christmas, Darwins.

    Anna, do you have The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rumer Godden? My favorite Christmas picture book. The one with pictures by Barbara Cooney is lovely.

    No I don't, but I'll have to look it up!
