EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Pickwickian Christmas: The Delightful Tradition of Mistletoe Kisses in Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers This charming 19th-century illustration, featuring Mr. Picwick and his friends under a festively adorned mistletoe, captures the playful spirit of the holiday season as depicted in Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers. Published in serial form between 1836 and 1837, this classic English novel has become synonymous with the traditions and customs of Christmas in the 1830s. In this delightful scene, Mr. Picwick, the kindly and good-natured protagonist, is surrounded by his fellow members of the Pickwick Club. Each man, in turn, pays homage to the festive tradition of kissing under the mistletoe. The first kiss lands on Picwick's chin, followed by a peck on the nose, and finally, a gentle touch on his spectacles. The merriment and camaraderie among the friends are evident in their jovial expressions and the warm glow of the fireplace. Mistletoe, a symbol of love and fertility, has been a cherished Christmas tradition for centuries. In Dickens' time, it was common for households to hang the plant above doorways during the holiday season. Anyone who passed beneath it was expected to exchange a kiss with anyone else who was present. This delightful custom added an air of merriment and romance to the celebrations, and it continues to be a cherished tradition in many households today. As we admire this beautiful illustration, we are transported back in time to an era of Christmas cheer, heartwarming traditions, and the simple joys of friendship and companionship. The scene invites us to embrace the spirit of the season and to share in the timeless pleasure of a good story and the company of loved ones.
