I think that's a cool thing. We haven't had mistletoe in our house for years. Maybe we should start it up again. Thanks for the post. Merry Christmas to you, Cheri.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-58829027854353381882016-12-05T07:28:29.346-06:002016-12-05T07:28:29.346-06:00Glad you liked it, Celia.

We've generally paid no attention to it, knowing it was a poisonous plant, and not really have anywhere or any need to hang it in our house. But one year I noticed a big clump in a mesquite tree...we have a few of those, too...and this was right out front next to the road and to the side of the driveway. We left it there, but I always looked at it as we came and went. It was like a big ornament in the bare mesquite tree. Thanks for sharing your Christmas customs of Christmas.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-39855822230657088212016-12-04T10:37:41.977-06:002016-12-04T10:37:41.977-06:00Actually, when I researched the history and custom...Actually, when I researched the history and customs of Mistletoe, I could have written twice as much, but decided to make it a quick read. Glad you enjoyed it and Merry Christmas to you and your family.Cheri Kay Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035609961825622472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-69841468322662922722016-12-04T08:36:49.016-06:002016-12-04T08:36:49.016-06:00I never thought of using mistletoe as a wreath dur...I never thought of using mistletoe as a wreath during the holidays. That's a unique idea, Cheri. Dang, I wish I had thought of gathering mistletoe and selling it in my youth. Great idea that. <br />Mistletoe is also highly poisonous, so I don't think anyone will be making soup out of it any time soon, but it is actually quite beautiful with its white berries.<br />I enjoyed reading your article with your personal history, Cheri. It's fun discovering what Christmas traditions others have created in their families.<br />I wish you and yours all the best this Christmas season. Sarah J.
