The top box wears 'Merry Mistletoe" with 'Happy Holly - Day' as the plaid. Each box used the plaid on the lids to pull the look together.
 
The second box is covered with 'Ho Ho Ho' as the base with a strip of stamps from the borders side of 'Ho Ho Ho'. 
 
The third box on the bottom repeats the 'Merry Mistletoe' paper and the base of the lamp is finished off with 'Ho Ho Ho'.
