EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the essence of a French Christmas tradition from the early 1900s. The young boy, dressed in a warm winter coat and holding a bough of mistletoe, invites us to join him in wishing a happy new year (Bonne Annee). Mistletoe, an evergreen plant with white berries, has long been a symbol of renewal and rebirth. In medieval Europe, it was believed that kissing under the mistletoe brought good luck and ensured fertility. By the 19th century, the custom had spread to France and other parts of Europe, where it became a popular decoration during the holiday season. The historical context of this photograph, circa 1910, adds to its charm. The boy's simple yet elegant attire, the snow-covered landscape in the background, and the natural beauty of the mistletoe bough all evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The image invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of a bygone era. Mistletoe was not only used for wishing good fortune but also for various decorative purposes. It was often hung above doors, fireplaces, and windows to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe may have originated from the ancient Celtic and Norse beliefs that the plant was a symbol of peace and unity. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and customs associated with the Christmas season. It invites us to reflect on the traditions that have shaped our holidays and to cherish the simple joys of the season. Whether hanging on a wall or displayed as a decoration, this image is a timeless treasure that adds warmth and charm to any home.
