TUDOR CHRISTMAS

THE HOLLY & THE IVY
The room is decorated with traditional evergreens, a tradition which dates back to pre-Christian times, when they were seen as having symbolic and mystical powers. Gathering them at the Winter Solstice was thought to ensure ever lasting life, the re birth of crops and peace and would generally bring good luck.
