Decorated Traditions From Rome To English Homes For Christmas
Early Rome originated the holiday decorating custom carried into Christian homes. Holly, favored by Druids, is linked to legends of wreaths and the Crown of Thorns. English holly customs included husband and wife competitions for home rule. The American holly grows from Massachusetts to New Jersey with spiny leaves and greenish flowers and red berries. The poinsettia known as Flor de Noche Buena was named for Joel R foung Poinsett, ambassador to Mexico, who introduced it to the United States.
