Christmas Flower Trends 2012: A Contemporary Christmas inspired by Classic Christmas lyrics
There'll be kindling for weaving
candles for gleaming
and crystals hung in the snow
There'll be light scattered stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year…
Title and words adapted from "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year", a popular Christmas song, composed in 1963 by Edward Pola and George Wyle
