Mistletoe: No winter plant carries quite the mystique -- or fun -- of mistletoe. Druid priests in ancient Britain noted this parasite plant's ability to wind around a tree as it grows, never planting roots in the ground. Their conclusion: Mistletoe most be sacred. White-robed Druid high priests observed winter solstice in late December by climbing an oak tree and cutting down mistletoe. Crowds caught the mistletoe with outspread robes. Should even a single sprig touch the earth, it signified extreme bad luck. Catching the mistletoe meant fertility for animals.
