Em muitas culturas ocidentais, o azevinho é uma decoração de Natal tradicional, utilizado especialmente em guirlandas. Na heráldica, o azevinho é usado para simbolizar a verdade. Em muitas espécies as diferentes partes da planta são bastante tóxicas. As frutinhas vermelhas atraem os pássaros que as comem após a geada ter reduzido a toxicidade.

In many western cultures, holly is a traditional Christmas decoration, used especially in wreaths. In heraldry, holly is used to symbolise truth. In many species the different parts of the plant are quite toxic. Berries attract birds that eat them after the frosts have reduced toxicity.

I didn't realize the frost reduces the toxicity so the birds may enjoy the berries. I always wondered why some berries seemed to stay on the plant so long!
