Mistletoe – hanging Christmas decorations – easy to crochet

Hanging mistletoe during the holiday season is a beautiful tradition, because the fresh green of the twigs and the delicate shimmer of the berries are a treat for the eyes and soul, especially in the dark season when there is little green around.

An old custom says that kissing under mistletoe will bring eternal happiness to a couple. Of course, there is no guarantee, but it's worth a try!
