The Mistletoe & Holly ornament captures the delicate beauty of its two namesakes, which are traditional symbols of Christmas. Mistletoe and holly both stay green through the winter and are natural symbols of life and rebirth at the darkest time of the year. It is said that Druids used mistletoe in their mid-winter celebrations, and in the European middle ages people decorated their doors with holly for good luck. Over the centuries mistletoe and holly have become part of the holiday tradition.
