Poo on a stick

The custom of kissing under Mistletoe comes 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! 
Mistletoe is actually a parasite. 
The name mistletoe comes from two Anglo Saxon words 'Mistel' (which means dung) and 'tan' (which means) twig or stick! 
So you could translate Mistletoe as 'poo on a stick'!!! 

Ah well. Until tomorrow....
