Tips

The mistletoe is an evergreen semi-parasite on trees, which takes root in the wood of the host. It has leathery opposite leaves.

The white, berry-like fruit is spread by birds. The berries are consumed in the axil of a tree branch, the seed sticks and germinates. The root then grows into the tree. Seeds are not digested and have a sticky layer, hence the name 'bird glue'. The seeds are poisonous to humans.

Why kiss under a mistletoe:

The mistletoe is usually seen as a symbol of fertility and life. In Scandinavian fairy tales, the mistletoe represents love and friendship. For example, the white berries of the plant represent the tears of Frigg, the Norse goddess of love. She cried tears like berries when Loki, the traitor of the gods, killed her son Badlr with an arrow with the tip of the poisonous mistletoe. The goddess then called the mistletoe the plant of love.

Hence the custom of kissing your loved one under a mistletoe!
