Mistletoe - What Do You Believe?

Mistletoe is a plant that has no roots and yet it stays green during the cold winter months; and is revered and believed to have magical healing powers. (Some people feel that way about chocolate.)

The Celtics used mistletoe as an antidote for infertility, poison, and to ward off evil spirits. The Romans saw the mistletoe as a symbol of peace. Scandinavians associated it with their goddess of love. (Chocolate is also known as "food of the gods".)

It is said that if you kiss under the mistletoe you have happiness and good luck for a year. I say bring on the mistletoe; and the chocolate!
