Snow is falling, all around me
Chidren playing, having fun
It`s the season, loving and understanding
Merry Christmas,everyone
Time for partys and celebrations
People dancing, all night long
Time for presents and exchanging kiss`s
Time for singing Christmas songs
We`re gonna have a party tonight
I`m gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe, we`ll kiss by candle light
Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs, we love to hear
All I wish that everyday is Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year
We`re gonna have a party tonight
I`m gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe, we`ll kiss by candle light
Snow is falling , all around me
Children playing, having fun
It`s the season, loving and understanding
Merry Christmas,everyone

Kissing under the Mistletoe 관용구 이야기
겨울철에 Europe이나 미국의 오크라호마주 인근을 여행하면 기생살이하는 Mistletoe(겨우살이)를
쉽게 발견하며, 크리스마스 절기가 되면 Mistletoe를 따다가 현관문에 크리스마스 장식을 하기도 한다.
크리스마스 절기에 장식된 mistletoe 아래에 있는 여자에게 사랑의 고백(kiss)을 하여도 좋다는 관습이
전하여 내려오며 kissing under the mistletoe라는 관용구도 있다.
Merry Christmas,Everyone 노래에 위의 내용이 포함된 노랫말이 있어 관용구의 유래와 함께 올림.
(관용구의 유래)
Most say "kissing under the mistletoe" is an English custom, there is a story that dates back to
Norse mythology. It is about an overprotective mother.The Norse god Balder was the best loved of all the gods.
His mother was Frigga, goddess of love and beauty.
She loved her son so much that she wanted to make sure no harm would come to him. So she went through the world, securing promises from everything that sprang from the four elements--fire, water, air, and earth--that
they would not harm her beloved Balder.
Leave it to Loki, a sly, evil spirit, to find the loophole. The loophole was mistletoe. He made an arrow from its
wood. To make the prank even nastier, he took the arrow to Hoder, Balder's brother, who was blind. Guiding
Holder's hand, Loki directed the arrow at Balder's heart, and he fell dead. Frigga's tears became the mistletoe's white berries. In the version of the story with a happy ending, Balder is restored to life, and Frigga is so grateful that she reverses the reputation of the offending plant--making it a symbol of love and promising to bestow a
kiss upon anyone who passes under it.

북유럽 신화에서 장난꾸러기 신 Loki가 평화의 신 Baldur를 Mistletoe로 만든 화살로 죽이자 다른 신들이 그를
살려달라고 애원을 해서 다시 살려 주었다고 한다.
이에 Baldur의 어머니인 Frigga가 문에다 mistletoe를 매달고 감사의 표시로 그 밑을 지나는 모든 이에게 포옹과 함께 키스를 하겠다고 한데서 용서와 사랑의 표시로 사용되었다고 한다.
그래서 서양에선 두 사람이 mistletoe 아래에 있게 되면 키스를 해도 좋다는 말(kissin' underneath the mistletoe)이 생겨 났으며,중세 시대에는 악귀를 쫒는 의미로 Mistletoe를 문이나 천장에 매달았고, 가지 몇 개를 베게 밑에 넣고 자면 악몽을 꾸지 않는다고 해서 베개 밑에 mistletoe를 넣고 자기도 했다고 한다.
