Holly is much more than just a pretty bush with glossy green leaves, pristine white flowers and brilliant red berries. The history of holly dates back to Roman times when it was associated with bringing colorful cheer to the darkest time of the year. Later, the druids, Celts and Britons also associated holly with life and continuity during winter solstice celebrations. Today, evergreen holly remains a symbol of the joy of life, continuity and Christmas. Many varieties of holly exist around the world, but the plant used most often for creating Christmas decorations and displays is the evergreen English holly.
