Mistletoe didn't get it's start as the "kissing" plant we all know it to be today. Back in the olden times, the Celtic and Teutonic Peoples considered mistletoe to have magical powers that could heal wounds and increase fertility. The Celts would also hang the mistletoe in their homes to ward off evil spirits and ring themselves good luck. In England, during the holidays, they would hang up sprigs of mistletoe from their doorways and ceilings and if someone was found standing under it they would have to be kissed by someone else in the room.
