EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming image from the past captures the essence of a traditional Christmas custom in this beautiful photograph titled "Mistletoe Kiss" from the Mary Evans Picture Library. Dating back to 1907, this historical snapshot transports us back in time to an era of elegance and romance. The scene is set in a grand manor house, where the festive atmosphere is in full swing. The room is adorned with intricate Christmas decorations, including holly wreaths, twinkling fairy lights, and a magnificent tree, bedecked with ornaments and candles. At the heart of the celebration, two elegantly dressed figures stand under a mistletoe, a time-honored symbol of love and fertility. The man, donning a stylish tuxedo, tenderly leans in for a kiss, while his partner playfully looks up, her eyes sparkling with mischief and delight. The mistletoe, with its lush green leaves and small white berries, hangs above them, adding a touch of whimsy and enchantment to the moment. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe dates back to ancient pagan traditions, where it was believed that the plant held magical powers and could ensure good fortune and happiness. Over the centuries, this tradition has been embraced and adapted by various cultures, becoming an integral part of Christmas celebrations. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and history of this beloved custom but also encapsulates the spirit of love, joy, and connection that Christmas brings to us all.
