  1. One of the many customs at Christmas is putting up the mistletoe in the middle of the ceiling. Every year we put up a bit of mistletoe and decorate it with silver and other coloured papers. If anyone who comes into the house walks under the mistletoe the girls in the house kiss him, it is great fun watching them coming in and walking under it.
