do you mean things such as plants, animals, etc., or were you thinking more along the lines of glyphs?

My answer to that would be:

/\ for yule... which we see as a tree.
and
V for midsummer, which can be seen as a plow.

But you could also see:

- for Yule. The barren Earth, and the yule log
and
| for Midsummer, the growth of plants.
