Kissing under the mistletoe







Maybe some of u haven't heard about what mistletoe is. Here it is!

The mistletoe has been one of the most magical, mysterious and sacred plants of European folklore and believed it had miraculous powers which could cure illnesses, serve as an antidote against poisons, ensure fertility and protect against the ill effects of witchcraft.


For instance, exchanging kisses under the mistletoe was a tradition of Greek festivals and marital ceremonies. If a couple in love exchanges a kiss under the mistletoe, it is interpreted as a promise to marry, as well as a prediction of happiness and long life. In France, the custom linked to the mistletoe was reserved for New Year's Day. <
