Lincolnton, NC – With only 118 days until December 25th, many of the heart-warming Christmas traditions that we cherish and repeat each year that makes the festive period so special have 
already begun. Christmas traditions don’t get any more traditional than a red, gold, and green color scheme. The Christmas ritual has it roots in religion- red suggest the blood of Christ, and gold is one of the gifts from the Three Kings. Green is symbolic of everlasting life. Holly and ivy are a traditional combination over Christmas. Holly’s popularity has its origins in history as protection against witches and pagans. It’s also said that the thorns and berries of holly represent the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus on the Cross, and the blood he shed. Ivy heart shaped leaves are symbolic of Jesus birth.
