Flower Of The Month December - Holly

December Flowers

The month of December is here, which means the holiday season is in full flow. Hot chocolate warms numb fingers, Christmas music fills the air, flowers and decorations are beautifully exhibited, and people are eating delicious foods. The joy felt in December is understandable. 

Having a birthday in December is extra wonderful because of this. Additionally, December is the month for exchanging presents with loved ones. Birthdays in December can be stressful because of the avalanche of gift-giving and the difficulty in coming up with original and thoughtful presents for friends and family. For all the significance and symbolism they hold, birthday gifts of birth flowers are also a great way to get a head start on the season's decorations! 

In spite of their differences, the holly and the narcissus flowers are both recognised symbols of the winter holiday season, making the perfect flowers for December. Both add a welcome pop of color to the dreary winter months, and their rich symbolic histories give them deeper significance than mere decorative elements. So, whether you or someone you care about is celebrating a birthday this month, a bouquet of wintry flowers that includes holly will be well appreciated. Join us as we delve deeper into the history of the holly! 

The Meaning Of The Flower Holly

As one of the most beloved evergreens associated with the holiday season in Britain, holly has been around for quite some time. However, prior to being used as a Christmas decoration, holly was considered a sacred plant by the druids. For people born in December, especially for the month filled with festive delight and the approaching new year, holly as a birth flower represents hope for household bliss, making it an ideal gift. 

The springtime blossoms have a light fragrance that draws in pollinators like bees and butterflies. To add more confusion, they are not berries but drupes. The green and crimson hues of holly survived the winter when many other plants and flowers died off. So, it's safe to say that this plant is something truly unique. 

As a matter of fact, in Pagan times holly was viewed as a symbol of fertility and a means to safeguard settlements from witchcraft. They have significant Christian symbolism because of their dark green, spiked foliage and vivid red berries. The white berries are said to have been stained red by Christ's blood, and the thorny crown of leaves. 

Gifts For People Born In December 

When it comes to the holidays, there are some traditions that we must maintain. Without some traditions, such as Christmas carols, Christmas cookies, and Christmas decorations, the holiday season would not feel complete. There is no shortage of reasons for holly's elevated status as a traditional component of holiday adornment. This evergreen has been included in a wide variety of cultural traditions dating back long before the Christmas holiday was even celebrated. The florists at Flower Chimp are holly-jolly this time of year, and they're ready to provide you with the best December birthday flower arrangements possible.
