Why kiss under the mistletoe? It’s all about tradition

According to a report from live scienceWe have ancient Greece to thank for the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe, as the Greeks associated it with fertility. The plant was used during the Saturnalia feast, and later in marriage ceremonies.

What’s really interesting is that in Roman times, enemies in war would actually make up under the mistletoe because they felt it signified peace.
