Answer 2

Mistletoe is a very interesting plant, as it is a partial parasite (a hemiparasite). As a parasitic plant, it grows on the branches or trunk of a tree and actually sends out roots that penetrate into the tree and take up nutrients.

From early times, mistletoe has been considered magical, mysterious and a very sacred plant in European folklore. It was considered to bestow life and fertility, offering protection again poison and also being an aphrodisiac.

Kissing under the mistletoe is believed to first be associated with the Greek festival of Saturnalia, and later with primitive marriage rites. In the Greek festival of Saturnalia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace, under which enemies could declare a truce - "kiss and make up". Later, in the eighteenth century, the English credited mistletoe with a magical appeal, calling it a "kissing ball". At Christmas time, a young lady standing under a ball of mistletoe, brightly trimmed with evergreens, ribbons and ornaments cannot refuse to be kissed.
