At least as far back as the fifteenth century, it has been the Christmas custom at every English household to deck the halls in holly, ivy and "whatsoever the season of the year affords to be green." Many of these decorations developed a religious significance over the decades. Ivy has an interesting association to Christmas and Christianity. The clinging quality of ivy is thought to symbolize the submissive spirit mankind should have toward God and its evergreen appearance speaks of the immortality of Christians. Apart from their religious symbolism, holly and ivy have long represented man and woman, especially in English carols. The masculine plant being the leathery-leaved holly, while the clinging ivy was thought to be more feminine.
