The whole process of selecting a tree, putting it up, it’s decoration, the placement of gifts and lights is what makes this festival such a big and enjoyable family event.
7. Mistletoe
This is a special ornament, which is placed at everyone’s door. There is a myth of couples kissing under the mistletoe, which is said to have come from England. The original custom was that a berry was picked from the sprig of Mistletoe before the person could be kissed, and when all the berries had gone, there could be no more kissing! To keep the tradition alive, the mistletoes are still placed in all the Christmas celebrating houses.
