Ivy was used as part of Christmas decorations for several reasons. It was believed to symbolise everlasting life, because it was evergreen, but also to symbolise death, because it grew well in shade and in winter. For this reason ivy was sometimes only used in exterior decorations, as death was to be shut out at this time. Ivy and holly were seen as symbolising female and male and therefore the completeness of life.
