Mistetoe Distinct
A# Yule Decoration
Mistletoe, that distinctive Christ
mas green so common in many parts
of America, is usually thought of as
merely good holiday decoration or
as a creator of open season on ladies
fair for otherwise bashful swains.
Mistletoe did not always hold this
position in our lives. The Druids call-
ed it "all-heal,"' and thought it held
many miraculous virtues. The Scan-
dinavians dedicated it to their god-
dess of love, Friga. Probably this
goddess of love is responsible for
the custom of kissing under the mis-
tletoe.
The power to heal, to protect
against sickness, to perform magic
deeds—all these and more are the
qualities ascribed to this plant in
legends, traditions and even in an-
cient histories and literature.
Mistletoe is a parasite, which in-
fests branches of various trees of
both hardwood and conifers, but
mainly hardwoodB. One species is
found exclusively, however, on con-
ifers.
Among the Celts and others mis-
tletoe which grew from the oak was
considered to have peculiar magical
virtues not possessed by that from
any other trees. Some even consid-
ered it so rare as to be only cut with
a gold knife.
Another old tradition is that the
mistletoe supplied the wood for the
holy cross, as previous to that time
it was a forest tree but after the
crucifixion was condemned to exist
only as a dwarf parasite.
Mistletoe was taken over into the
Christian tradition in due course and
dedicated to the Christ Child.
YULE MEANS DECEMBER
The word "Yule" for Christmas
comes from the Anglo Saxon "geol,"
meaning December.

CHR7STMA3 IS ALL OF THESE
Christmas is the goo4 will shared at
the family hearth; the carol sung to-
gether; the candle in the window, the
glowing faces gathered around the
festive board. And it is much more
—ever so much more!
We cannot begin to put into words
all that Christmas is, nor begin to
express how ardently we wish for
you the complete enjoyment of
Christmas. So, all we can say to
you, kind friends, is Merry Christ-
mas To You.
