A Hero for Christmas (2013)
“The tables were where they should be, and the footmen were stringing the greenery according to her instructions. She drew in a deep breath of the fresh scent. Soon the great hall would look as she had imagined. Snow had piled up overnight on the windowsills, and the stained glass sent colors across the tables that were already draped with tablecloths, sparkling off mermaid tears scattered there.

“The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown. Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly wears the crown.”
Cat joined the others in singing the refrain. Deep voices blended with high-pitched ones, and nobody cared if a note was flat or sharp, for they sang from the heart.
“Oh, the rising of the sun, and the running of the deer, the playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.”MoreLess
