Decking the Halls is a delightful and informative collection of the stories of our Christmas plants, their symbolism, customs, legends and even their superstitions.

Of all the seasonal celebrations of the year, Christmas has more traditional plants with their accompanying legends and symbolism, than any other season. Holly, ivy, mistletoe, poinsettia, the Yule log, and the most popular and recognized of all - the Christmas tree - each has its own fascinating legend and history. Drawing from ancient Druid, Celtic, Norse and Roman civilizations, along with Christian beliefs, myths have been created in an effort to explain the unexplainable. Decking the Halls explores the history of our popular Christmas plants and flowers during this most holy season.
