  • Mistletoe, the kiss of Christmas
    "It's a vintage year for the legendary mistletoe berries...
    In Britain’s mistletoe-growing regions, a branch would be brought inside at Christmas to protect the house. Any woman walking underneath
    could not refuse to be kissed, or she would remain an old maid. After a kiss, she would pick a berry from the branch."
