As you "deck the halls with boughs of holly," remember to hang up some fresh greenery in your home for the winter faeries. According to legend, the faeries enjoy coming into a magical home for a little vacation from the cold and to enjoy the lights, decorations, and excitement of the holiday season. Arrange your fresh greenery on the mantle or hang it above your doorways and repeat this charm. Here's wishing you an enchanting holiday season!

These fresh holly, ivy, and evergreen boughs,

Provide a shelter for the

faeries right now.

Welcome to our home, and enjoy your stay,

No tricks or pranks during these holidays.

When the Yuletide is over, you must then depart,

Know that you will always have a place in my heart.

By all the powers of the green holly,

As I will it, then so must it be!
