Decorating a Christmas tree with lights and ornaments and the decoration of the interior of the home with garlands and evergreen foliage, particularly holly and mistletoe, are common traditions. In Australia, North and South America and some parts of Europe, it is a Christmas tradition to decorate the outside of homes with Christmas lights, snowmen and other Christmas figures.
