EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1922, a mother and her young daughter pause in their holiday errands to buy a bundle of mistletoe from a boy selling it on the street. The scene exudes the charm and nostalgia of a bygone era, as the pair prepare to bring the traditional Christmas decoration into their home. The mother, dressed in a long, woolen coat and hat, holds her daughter's hand protectively as they approach the young vendor. The girl, bundled up in a fur-trimmed jacket and scarf, gazes up at the mistletoe with wide, curious eyes. The boy, wearing a simple sweater and cap, offers them a selection of the plentiful greenery, which clings to the branches of trees and fences in the background. Mistletoe, with its white berries, has been a cherished Christmas custom for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient European folklore, where it was believed to possess magical properties that could bring good fortune and ensure fertility. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely emerged from this belief, as the plant came to symbolize love and romance. As the mother and daughter make their purchase, they not only continue this time-honored custom but also support the local community by buying from the young boy. The simple exchange between the three individuals captures the essence of the holiday season – the warmth of family, the joy of tradition, and the spirit of giving. This photograph, with its historical significance and heartwarming depiction of a mother-daughter moment, is a beautiful reminder of the enduring customs and traditions that bring us closer to one another during the holiday season.
