Show Mistletoe for Luck Today, mistletoe is hung in doorways at holiday time. Kissing beneath it brings good luck to those fortunate enough to meet there. In ancient times, it was believed that mistletoe had more control over luck, good and bad. A bit of mistletoe hung over a doorway was said to ward off evil. A later belief held that mistletoe boughs hung for Christmas had to be removed re-moved by Candlemas Eve (February 1), or each leaf would bring forth a goblin to harass the household for the rest of the year. |
