It means decorate your halls.. like decorate your home.. with Christmas ornaments and "boughs of jolly" it's pretty self explanatory. Best Wishes!

Deck can be a shortened form of decorate. Hence, decorate the halls in the manner of the celebration that is at hand. Holly has been used as symbolism for the death and birth of Christ, Christ Himself, and the Virgin Mary. I am sure there are some pagan symbolisms as well, but I am not well versed there enought to discuss it.
