Why Do People Kiss Under Mistletoe Kissing Balls?
The hanging of the mistletoe in the doorways creates many plots and diversions to receive a kiss under it. The mistletoe tradition of kissing comes from the Norse myths. Frigga, one of the gods, gave her son Balder a charm of mistletoe to protect him from the elements. But because mistletoe grows neither from the water or the earth nor from fire or air, it grows on trees, it held the power to harm him. One of the other god’s arrows made of mistletoe struck Balder down, and his mother cried tears of white berries. She brought her son back to life and vowed to kiss anyone who rested beneath the plant. So the mistletoe tradition of kissing under it began.
