"Under the mistletoe" 1898 Does anyone hang mistletoe now?

Not many people care about the traditions anymore.....It's sad

Symanthia Foust It’s hard to find & expensive. We have it if we can get it. During the Depression, my Grandmother saved so the kids could buy a big bunch at the florist row, tie small pieces with red ribbon & sell them ❤️

I’m sure whatever was left of that cute tradition has died out due to the #MeToo news.

Yeah- let's skip the kissing, lets get right to the sex- that's the attitude now. And birth control seems to have gone out of style too. Oh that's OK! We'll just have the tax payers take care of the babies.

I have lots of mistletoe up in the tops of my pecan trees on my property. Used some recently. ;-)

Romance has gone out of style. It's too bad because it can be such fun. It's too civilized for today's younger generation. It's all sex and having 10 babies with 10 different "baby daddies" they are called, it's sickening and low-brow. I prefer the romance.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I am the great grandaughter of Fred Sivertsen (Severson in America) and Lena Lien(Snedkerlien in Norway) I am the great grandaughter of Simon Gordon (Nørstegaard) and Josephine Johnson. My Great Grandparents came from Guisko,Sonmore, Norway and from Dovre, Gudbrandsdalen, Oppland, Norway. I am searching for living relatives that are still in Norway. I know that the majority of my relatives are on the Sivertsen side. There are 2 Nørstegaards that remained in Norway.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
