Dear Reader,
If you ever saw mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath the
mistletoe - don’t worry - it was probably just your dad in a
Santa suit.
The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe comes from pagan
rituals practiced by the ancient druids of Europe. They
regarded the parasitic plant with high esteem, built alters
festooned with mistletoe, and did a lot more than just
kissing underneath it. But when the party was over, their
healers (who called the plant “all heal”) put this botanical
to good use in treating a variety of health problems, such as
headaches; lung diseases; epilepsy; internal bleeding;
nervous conditions and tumors.
