Holly is a recognizable winter symbol, and fits into a nice square for an icon. Drooping green leaves and white berries, not so much. But has a nicer story than holly, which is just a tree/shrub that people started using for decorating. And how many people other than geeks would notice? I have to cut the mistletoe off the oaks in my yard when they start growing to keep them healthy, so I know how to recognize it. I don't use mistletoe in the winter b/c I'd rather have healthy trees.
