Made this last year, since I kept seeing people make the same mistake over and over again. Soooooo this is help educate people on the difference between Holly and Mistletoe. Holly has pointy leaves that are dark green in color with bright red berries, Mistletoe on the other hand is light green with very smooth leaves and has white berries. Not to sound mean or anything, if you look to do any kind of holiday picture, please do your research first ^_^

Yep they sure are. I did discover something interesting this year though, thanks to someone on facebook. Apparently there is also red mistletoe, to where the berries are red instead of white, but the leaves are still rounded. I REALLY need to update this thing, it's been forever. XD
This is true, however the traditional Mistletoe is white. I couldn't find the exact place I once read about it, but I got this from online.
"Frigga was so distraught that her tears turned to white berries, coating the plant and symbolising her love for him.
Frigga was overjoyed by the white berries so she blessed the plant and promised a kiss to all who passed beneath it from that day onward.
This turned into a tradition in ancient times when visitors would kiss the hand of a host under the mistletoe when they arrived as a way of honouring the Norse legend."
