      Beste Hilly,
      Ja, een mooie traditie van de Druiden om te kussen onder de maretak!
      Liefs en ook licht en echte warmte met Kerst.

      Cara Olga,
      Immagino che gli inglesi ne abbiano fatto una tradizione natalizia, ma Capodanno appartiene sicuramente a quel periodo!
      Abbracci,
      Mariette

    I don't think we have! There is no mistletoe around here. I better get a fake piece, he he.

      Dearest Patricia,
      Yes, there is—Australia is the real home of mistletoe: https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/science-environment/2018/11/australia-is-the-real-home-of-mistletoe/
      So you better catch up on your kissing!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    I don't remember if anyone I know has ever had mistletoe in their house. It's a lovely tradition, though, to kiss under it. :-)

    We don't have that tradition here. We know it exists from seeing it in American movies.

      Dearest Christina,
      Guess it originated in Scandinavia and was very popular in the U.K.
      From there no doubt it came across the Atlantic.
      Hugs,
