Christmas decorations in yesteryear were often made up of colors provided by nature. Both evergreens and deciduous shrubs, trees, and vines made their contribution. The vine in the photo is a Virginia Creeper. It's fall colors are well-known throughout the South. Just get a few strings of this colorful vine and you have a great looking doorway, mantle, or table decoration. They grew everywhere and were easy to gather. Although often mistaken for poison ivy, this vine is not toxic.
