Before popping a mint in, answer this: where did the tradition of kissing beneath mistletoe come from?

The earliest traditions of kissing beneath mistletoe date back to ancient Greece, when the custom occurred during weddings and the festival of Saturnalia. The Greeks associated the plant with fertility, while Nordic myth and Victorian England had their own traditions and legends that accompany the act. To the Nordics, it became a sign of love; to the English, it was bad luck to refuse a kiss beneath the mistletoe. How it became wrapped up in Christmas tradition is a complete mystery.
