Mistletoe

In an old Norse legend, Frigga, the goddess of love, had a son named Balder who was the god of innocence and light. To protect him, Figga demanded an oath that all creatures...even inanimate objects... swear an oath not to harm him, but she forgot to include mistletoe. Loki, ggod of evil and destruction , learned of this and made an arrow from a sprig of mistletoe. He then tricked Hoth, Balder's bllind brother, into shooting the mistletoe arrow and guided it to kill balder. The death of Balder meant the death of sunlight...explaining the long winter nights in the north.

Frigga's tears fell onto the mistletoe and turned into white berries.  She decreed that it should never cause harm again but should promote love and peace instead. From then on, anyone standing under mistletoe would get a kiss. Even mortal enemies meeting under mistletoe by accident had to put down their weapons and exchange a kiss of peace, declaring a truce for a day....

I WISH FOR ALL BLIPPERS A DAY OF PEACE HARMONY AND LOVE.
                                MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL....
