It is a parasitic plant which grows on evergreen trees, with small yellowish-green leaves, yellowish flowers and waxy white, poisonous berries. Under a sprig of mistletoe men are by custom privi- leged to Kiss any women standing under it. The man is supposed to first remove one of the berries and pre- sent it to the woman, When all the berries are gone, - this kissing game is over. It is thought this custom comes from an early pagan marriage rite. Mistletoe was considered sacred by the Druids in ancient Britain and they performed elaborate cere- monies around it at the winter solstice. Because of these pagan associations, it is seldom used in church - decorations. : Best Wishes Deck the halls. ..it's Christmas!
