A few facts about Holly and Ivy.

Holiday Fun Fact: Holly and ivy tend to go together in song and in holiday celebrations. Holly symbolizes masculinity and ivy symbolizes femininity. Ivy is a popular way to decorate Christmas wreaths, and it keeps green throughout the year. Holly always stay green, and need little to no maintenance, even during the harshest winters. Romans would send holly wreaths to friends and family as gifts of goodwill and good wishes. (Source: Thespruce.com)
