Hung in doorways and gathering spaces, these fragrant spheres of greenery, berries, and ribbon were considered a symbol of goodwill, friendship, and love. Guests who passed beneath one were invited to share a kiss as a gesture of warmth and welcome — a tradition that carried forward through the Victorian era and into the modern holiday home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMistletoe has been woven into this tradition since ancient times.
