Ach, VG, that would be so nice. :)


How sweet :oops: And there I thought you all had forgotten me already.

I'll do my best, if not that day then hopefully soon after. Is there going to be anything to celebrate the new year?

Anyone know where i can buy real mistletoe?

Some random mistletoe stuff

The early Christian church banned the use of mistletoe because of its association with Druids.

Druids believed mistletoe growing on oak trees was the most sacred form of the plant and it offered protection from all evil, as well as being the source of much magic.

The mystery of the mistletoe's method of reproduction led many people to link the plant with spontaneous generation, fertility and aphrodisiacs. In medieval times, women wishing to conceive would wrap mistletoe around their waist and wrists to increase their fertility. something tells me that won't be on the girlies dresses this friday!

The Roman writer Pliny believed mistletoe seeds would only germinate if they had passed through the system of a bird.

Traditionally in Scandinavia, if enemies met under mistletoe they would lay down their weapons and not fight until the following day.

According to Scandinavian legend, the god Balder the Beautiful is killed by a spear of mistletoe and so his grieving mother Frigg, the goddess of love and beauty, banishes the plant to the top of trees. When Balder comes backs to life, Frigg makes mistletoe a symbol of love.

In Brittany the plant is known as Herbe de la Croix because it is thought that Christ's Cross was made of mistletoe wood.

A man may kiss a woman standing under a sprig of mistletoe, only if he plucks a berry from the plant and gives it to her with each kiss. When all the berries have gone the kissing has to stop. a large sprig is required ;)

Proper florists (as opposed to flower sellers) would also be a good bet.
