Happy holidays from the History Museum!

My mother in law always had Mistletoe above her kitchen door. Good way for the cooks to get a kiss.
It would be interesting to read the 1897 Holiday Supplement and see if traditions have changed. I would think in 1897 you would be getting more European influence and songs sung in different languages.
