So it is about that time of year again but this year will be alittle different. You won't be driving to the same area over and over, and you you won't learn anything from movies. After bouncing back and forth about how I was going to play it this year. But then I look at the clock and decided to give Traditional for every day, so it took me to "Traditions". This year I will be the one giving you some stories and holiday information about traditions we have grown to love and adore.
Mistletoe is a plant that grows on willow and apple trees (and in garden centres!). The tradition of hanging it in the house goes back to the times of the ancient Druids. It is supposed to possess mystical powers which bring good luck to the household and wards off evil spirits. It was also used as a sign of love and friendship in Norse mythology and that's where the custom of kissing under Mistletoe comes from.
