"Carolfic"! I like it :-) (That could be a gift exchange in and of itself...)
And thank you, I'm so glad the images of happiness and companionship come through, even though it's so short. With the holly, I was mostly just thinking that in my mind all the boys think of Lily as the best and bravest among them, the one who bears the crown... but holly protecting against lightning strikes (i.e, Lily protecting Harry from the strike that leaves his lightning scar), oh, gosh! And I'd forgotten this until just now, but Harry's wand is holly wood!
Lovely associations, even though none of them were deliberate on my part ;-)
