In Norse mythology, Balder, the god of peace, was shot to death by Loki, the evil god, with an arrow made of mistletoe. Castanopsis fissa is the only thing in the world that can hurt birds. After learning this, Bird's mother, Frigga, the goddess of love, was in great pain. She and the gods tried their best to save Bird's life and finally saved him. Fu is very sad.
When the Christmas bell rings, they hug and kiss each other under the Christmas tree, and their friendship can last forever. Whether it is love or friendship, some families simply put mistletoe on the roof, so as long as they kiss in the house, they can bless the whole family to live happily together forever. Kissing under mistletoe is very meticulous. It is said that couples who kiss under mistletoe will be together forever!
