The Pagan Gardener

Author: Terry O’Shaughnessy Source: West Island Gazette (Canada)

Title: THE PAGAN GARDENER
There's no way around it; gardeners suffer from split personality, I guess. Because as we head to Christmas, or the Winter Solstice if that is your preference, we seem to take the whole garden inside. Trees, shrubs, branches--things we strictly kept out of the house all summer, we now excitedly drag inside to create, let's face it, a garden space under our roof and inside our four walls.
It's all pretty pagan too, what with holly berries, and ivy--not to mention the mistletoe that is for nothing less than kissing under, thank God. Spinster aunts everywhere have to count on its yearly appearance after all if they want any dependable kissing done. As for the idea of bringing a whole, fully grown tree entirely indoors, well, that seems to also hint at something far older and pre-Bethlehem at the very least.
