This is a custom in western countries. You have to kiss under the mistletoe.

Basic introduction:

This should start from Europe before Christianity. At that time, mistletoe symbolized masculinity, romance, vitality and fertility. This symbolic meaning makes people believe that mistletoe has mysterious power, which can start a romantic affair and finally evolve into the custom of kissing under the magical mistletoe.

Mistletoe is often used to decorate Christmas trees. In fact, it is a parasitic plant, attached to trees and shrubs, and lives on the nutrients of trees. In western culture, mistletoe is used to steal a lover's kiss at Christmas.

Specific custom: When you and another person are found standing under mistletoe, you must kiss. That's the rule. There's no room for discussion. So, before1February 25th, you should be careful of what is above your head. Of course, this tradition has become flexible now, because many men carry mistletoe with them, so they can hold it on their heads when beautiful women come near. This change has raised the difficulty of stealing kisses to a new height.
