The holly, ilex aquafolium, bears leaves of stiff, shiny green. Its charming red berries tantalize the eye. These berries can be used unsuccessfully as medicine against many afflictions and religious crossroads. The tough holly leaf has a stiff, poky feature that can tear the inside of the mouth.

Make them therefore part of your winter solstice celebration while the dark forces lay in wait. The spines on the holly leaf can represent the crown of thorns that adorn that famous guy. Defy Rome or whatever skullduggery of potentate, let symbols run wild. Without excessive effluvia the holly can offer calming thoughts and quaint caroling amidst the hazard of time.

Those flower names walked along, Matisse, Picasso, Laurencin, in varieties. An adding war or two closed or opened anything jump. Apollinaire in the historical. Languages of shapes and sizes bounding for just the time and a little beyond. And that was the how sentence. In that time but also forward until readi...
