Christmas is a cherished legacy of legend and love.
As a symbol of good will and affection,
mistletoe has special significance in this galaxy of giving
and sharing, candlelight and carols. In pagan times,
Druid priests of Britain distributed sprigs of
mistletoe to all their followers.
He who had the mystic plant hanging over his doorway
would enjoy the blessings of health
and good fortune though out the coming year.
The custom of kissing under the
mistletoe is of Scandinavian origin.
It was believed that the goddess of love
and beauty would kiss all who stood beneath its boughs.
So today to exchange a kiss under a sprig of
mistletoe is to taste the joys of Christmas and of love!
