Yuletide decorations typically include a tree, HOLLY, mistletoe, and TINSEL. The tree is usually an evergreen, such as a fir or pine, and is decorated with lights, ornaments, and other festive items. HOLLY is a type of shrub with spiny leaves and red berries, which is often used to decorate the home during the holiday season. Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows on trees and is believed to bring good luck when hung in a doorway. TINSEL is a type of metallic thread that is used to add sparkle and shine to Christmas trees and other decorations.
