Mistletoe was always a sign of good passing, as in, after someone died, you would come together under the mistletoe and rejoice your feelings of new life, and the choice of the mistletoe leaves is based on the fact that mistletoes berries are poisonous, so basically you grasp life beneath death.
The tradition began in England. The mistletoe was considered magical in that it remained green all through the winter. The druids considered it sacred and would never allow it to touch the ground.
