Mistletoe is a Christmas tradition that can be overlooked all the time, it is a plant with green leaves and red berries. Why is mistletoe a good thing? It gives lovebirds an excuse to kiss each other again. Along with that in almost all of the cheesy winter movies the guy always kisses the girl under the mistletoe and makes girls watching say “awww I want that.”It originated from England and the tradition says, Men were allowed to kiss any woman caught under the mistletoe, if they refused it was a view of bad luck. The color of mistletoe, green and red is also the colors of Christmas, which is another way to get in the Christmas spirit! Mistletoe is poisonous to cats, so people who hate or dislike cats are in luck!
