Jingle All the Way: Test Your Knowledge of Christmas Trivia!
In Christmas tradition, there exists a plant under which any two individuals who meet are compelled to kiss. Can you identify this plant?
Correct Incorrect The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe has its origins in Norse mythology. This custom relates to the story of the god Baldur; his mother, Frigg, made every plant promise not to harm him but overlooked mistletoe. As a result, mistletoe became a symbol of love and friendship as an apology. Thus, during Christmas, when two people find themselves beneath mistletoe, it's customary to share a kiss. According to tradition, after each kiss, a berry should be plucked from the plant until none are left—so as not to tempt fate!
