History of Holly at Christmas:
Originally, the holly was a type of offering that was giving to the God Saturn by the Romans during the festival of Saturnalia. It is also considered a special gift that was interchanged with a high regard for its symbolism.
At some point the holly became significant to Christians. At first it was placed within decorations that adorned doors as a method of preventing persecution. It was believed that hanging the holly on the door of any home would prevent the entry of terrifying spectres who were more likely to attack during the holy days. Soon it began getting more mainstream acceptance as an essential symbol of Christmas festivals.
Another part of its symbolic significance is related to the crucifixion of Christ who wore a crown of thorns that caused him to bleed from his head. Thus the look of the hollies is similar to the look of Christ's crown, and the berries symbolise the blood.
