Wreaths and Mistletoe
Mistletoe used in pre-Christmas days as a way to ward off evil spirits. When Christmas moved West, the greenery stayed and the meaning behind it transformed into a romantic gesture of love and flirtation. Wreaths were hung on doors and worn as headdresses in Roman days to illustrate status. Present day wreaths are hung on doors for the sole purpose of the longevity behind the tradition. The greenery of the holiday has indeed transformed in meaning, but also in its appearance.
