Best Answer

Holly was used by the ancient Druids for their holiday of Saturnalia. Early Christians claimed that the red berries of holly were changed by the blood of Christ to turn them red and that the prickly leaves were a symbol of Christ's suffering.

Ivy was used as part of Christmas decorations for several reasons.
