I have one more question to ask today, What started the mistletoe tradition?

Fun Fact # 2: Mistletoe is a parasite. It attatches itself to the higher branches of a tree and grows there.

The holiday's most conspicuous smaller plant is mistletoe ... Historically, mistletoe has long been associated with both magic and fertility. Sprigs of mistletoe were once fastened over the conjugal bed on the wedding night. Our modern use of mistletoe as a social aphrodisiac is clearly related. 101Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel. 2This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them. 3For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 4They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. 5Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good." Jeremiah ch. 10

It was good timing and thought to make it up, she must of been worth it:)

The mistletoe tradition was started by a person who was (starved of kisses and wanted someone of the opposite sex to kiss)

umm i heard it was latin or something and that it meant dung on a twig and that that as supposed to bring life into the guests that passed beneath it... course this was from the sims lol.

Mistletoe Origins of its name - The common name of the plant is derived from the ancient belief that mistletoe was propagated from bird droppings. This belief was related to the then-accepted principle that life could spring spontaneously from dung. It was observed in ancient times that mistletoe would often appear on a branch or twig where birds had left droppings. "Mistel" is the Anglo-Saxon word for "dung," and "tan" is the word for "twig". So, mistletoe means "dung-on-a-twig".

I haven't a clue but it's a good reason for a lip-lock.

i also like it! It started as a tradition in england around the 1700s. HAPPY HoLIDAYS!
