The Current Custom of kissing
beneath the mistletoe got its start
in Scandinavian mythology. Balder,
son of the Norse goddess of love,
Frigga, was killed by an arrow of
mistletoe. Frigga's tears fell onto
the mistletoe and turned into white
berries. Frigga swore that mistletoe
would never again be a sourse of death,
but instead, should promote love:
Anyone caught standing beneath
the plant should receive a kiss.
