Question: is holly the same thing as mistletoe? 

Answer: No, holly is a bush.  Mistletoe is a kind of parasite plant that grows in the tops of trees.\n\nMy uncle used to make extra money by shooting mistletoe clumps out of his oak trees and selling them at Christmastime.  They're basically a weed that grows up high.
