Ar tik nebus tai mistletoe? Pritiktu prie Kaledu

[psichopate]

its… aij rašau lietuviškai…
čia turbūt iš dainos kuri prasideda kažkaip… snow is falling… ir ten tipo undernaeth the mistletoe… tai tas mistletoe yra toks augalas… kur amerikoj kabina ant lubų ir jei porelė po juo susitinka tai turi pasibučiuot man rodos šitaip… kažkada su mokytoja dainą vertėm tai buvo tas žodis

[Es_wird_Herbst]

amalas tas augalas

[Irciukas]

paprastasis amalas.Per Kaledas S.Amerikoj yra paprotys- pakabinti sio augalo sakeles tarptuduriuose ir kas susitinka tarpdury turi pasibuciuoti
. Taip pat jo sakelem daug kas puosiama per Kaledu svente

Useless facts about mistletoe from http://people.howstuffworks.com/mistletoe.htm :
Vikings dating back to the eighth century believed that mistletoe had the power to raise humans from the dead, relating to the resurrection of Balder, the god of the summer sun.

Druids in Britain believed that mistletoe could perform miracles, from providing fertility to humans and animals to healing diseases and protecting people from witchcraft.

Mistletoe is also said to be a sexual symbol, because of the consistency and color of the berry juice. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe could have come from either the Viking association of the plant with Frigga, the goddess of love, or from the ancient belief that mistletoe was related to fertility.

The correct mistletoe etiquette is for the man to remove one berry when he kisses a woman. When all the berries are gone, there is no more kissing underneath that plant. It is believed that an unmarried woman not kissed under the mistletoe will remain single for another year.
