Even though many sources claim that kissing under the mistletoe is a purely English custom, there’s another, more amiable explanation for its origin extending back into Norse mythology. Mistletoe was considered as a symbol of peace by the Norsemen and if they encountered growing mistletoe nearby, they kissed and made up for the fight. In fact, it is said that they even put away their weapons and rested to fight for another day.

Another belief states that, this custom was widespread among the Anglo-Saxons, and was connected to the legend of Freya, goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to this custom, a man had to kiss a girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.

Mistletoe is commonly used for Christmas decorations and is displayed along with Christmas holly, laurel, rosemary, yews, and boxwood bushes and, of course, the Christmas tree. Mistletoe is an evergreen displayed during the Christmas season and symbolic of the eventual rebirth of vegetation that will occur in spring.

The mistletoe is still hung in farmhouses, kitchens and various places inside a home, as a symbol of love and respect for the ancient tradition. This custom has been preserved even till now and will be done in future also. So, have fun while kissing under the mistletoe!
