Garlands of celebration We rightly rank the holly and the ivy among the evergreens we make into garlands for our Christmas decorations. Yet when it comes to traditions and folklore the mistletoe outranks these as regards its beneficial and harmful associations Text
Reading the label — and trying to make sense of the message Attaching a label to a substance or its container sounds simple enough.
