Holly Jolly Christmas

Lyrics by Burl Ives

Have a holly jolly Christmas

It's the best time of the year

I don't know if there'll be snow

But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And when you walk down the street

Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet

Ho ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And in case you didn't hear

Oh by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year

Have a holly jolly Christmas

It's the best time of the year

And when you walk down the street

Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet

Ho ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And in case you didn't hear

Oh by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year

The Hollies are an English band from the sixties -

You might recognize the name Graham Nash from Crosby, Stills, and Nash. He is the one in the Hollies with the incredibly tuned falsetto on the high parts.

Hey Carrianne, Bus Stop, and later, He Ain't Heavy; He's My Brother are well known songs by the band, and they were definitely not a one-hit-wonder band. (By the way, Stephen Stills came from Buffalo Springfield, and David Crosby came from the Birds.

Mistletoe started playing a significant role in Christianity around 3AD and even appeared in Greek mythology before that. This importance lead to the kissing tradition first seen in the 16th century in England, but the exact path to this kissing fun isn't clear. There are some myths surrounding its history. It was the plant of peace, so warring nations or spouses could "kiss and make up" under it. Or that it helps with infertility.

The relationship between flying dragons and trees compares to that of iguanas and trees mainly to show how trees are important to everything on earth. Without trees, life as it is known today would not be possible.

Mistletoe is located in oak trees.

you can preserve mistletoe by pressing it. you could press it by putting it in between two books (or other objects) for any amount of time you need. Take it out whenever you are ready to use it and it will remain well preserved.

We have mistletoe because kissing is fun, and it is an excuse to romantically kiss your spouse or to daringly peck the cheek of anyone you'd like to catch standing under it!

Why mistletoe became associated with kissing and why it is found among our winter decorations is a more complicated story involving Gods (Odin, Frigg, Baldr) and chicanery:

Balder was a beloved God. He was the son of Odin (chief God, Allfather--father of Gods) and Frigga (wife of Odin, God of motherly love), and he was the God of innocence and light. When dreams foretold of Balder's death, Frigga extracted a promise from all on earth (whether animal, mineral, or vegetable) not to harm her Balder. Except she did not believe it was necessary to seek such an agreement from mistletoe, for it was soft and harmless, which did not make it seem a threat to Balder the beautiful. Unfortunately, an evil trickster discovered this fact and specially treated and sharpened some mistletoe which was then used to kill Frigga's beloved son.

Frigga decreed that mistletoe would never again cause harm. It became the one object on earth that represented peace and love. Enemies were to lay down their armaments if underneath mistletoe. The tiny white berries growing on the plant represented tears shed from causing the death of Balder. Some couples would remove one of these berries each time they kissed under the mistletoe until all the berries were gone.

Mistletoe was one of the evergreens brought into homes around the winter solstice celebration. Christmas celebrations came to incorporate many of the solstice merrymaking activities, and now we find mommy kissing Santa under the mistletoe--a harmless, fun custom to help us through the cold, dark days of winter near the poles.

Christmas is the holiday that mistletoe is commonly used for. The common folklore associated with the mistletoe is that if two people who stood under the mistletoe and kissed, they would have "life-giving" powers.
