Nice article, Trish! Isn't it interesting how traditions like kissing under the mistletoe are long honored, yet the meanings behind them become misted over? It's interesting to know about the age old pagan traditions. smile

Thank you Shay. I'm glad you like it. It is always interesting to unearth old traditions when remnants of them have crept into modern life.

I wrote a blog on all manner of things that have been conglomerated into Christmas.

In it I wondered if the fact that Mistletoe was commonly left up all year over the door if that was where the commonplace kiss hello and good bye between lovers came from.

I always get my kiss goodbye wink
