Mistletoe


Mistletoe is a common plant in the South. It lives on many kinds of trees and is a parasite. It seldom kills its host, but sometimes does. Mistletoe is a small, evergreen plant with small poisonous greenish berries(see picture). What makes it a delight, is that at Christmas time, people hang a piece of it over doorways. When a woman walks underneath it...............they are suppose to allow men to kiss them. Not a bad tradition.
