- The Tradition of Kissing Under the Mistletoe
Martin, or Martinmas, fell on November 11, and St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, had his day on November In late fall and November, the landed gentry still dined on wild foul as well as domestic poultry—which was now getting a bit old and aged meaning tough and needing sauces to make the meat palatable. They also had beef, venison and pork with their meals. Fish could still be caught and served, and winter vegetables graced the dining room, including: carrots, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, leeks, cabbage, celery and lettuces.
With November, walnuts and chestnuts came into season.
The Kissing Bough (Forbidden Loves, #1) by Madelynne Ellis
Feasting over the holidays might include game—both wild and tame birds—seasonal fish such as flounder, plaice, smelts, whiting, prawns, oysters and crab. Broccoli made a welcome change from the other winter vegetables, as did cress, herbs, cucumbers, beets and spinach. Preserved fruits would be running low in all but houses with large orchards, and stored apples and pears would have to serve guests. Roasts were popular Christmas fare, usually of beef if it could be afforded, or possibly goose.

Many decorations came from ancient times: Druids, Celts, and even the Romans used evergreen branches made into wreaths in winter solstice celebrations. Holly and ivy were also pagan symbols which remained green a promise of life to return in dead of winter and were adopted by the Church.
Holly—prized for its ability to bear fruit in winter and its healing uses—became a said to be the thorns Christ wore on the crucifix and the berries were stained red by his drops of blood. From the Norse and the Druids, Mistletoe which was often found growing on the sacred oaks and featured in several old myths was held to be sacred and associated with fertility, which led to kissing boughs. There are several local variations on the kissing bough custom. One holds that a woman who refused the kiss would have bad luck, and another is that with each kiss a berry was to be plucked, and the kissing must stop after all the berries were gone.
Strict Methodists might scorn such customs as smacking not of the pagan, but of the Catholic Church. Charles II restored the holiday in England. Boxing Day did not get its name from gift boxes, for the exchange of gifts was a German custom still new to Regency England and only practiced by a few families.
Instead, Boxing Day got its name from the older tradition of it being a day in which pleadings could be placed in a box for a judge to privately review.
The Tradition of Kissing Under the Mistletoe
In December, besides beef and mutton to eat, pork and venison were served. Goose was cooked for more than just the Christmas meal, and there would be turkey, pigeons, chicken, snipes, woodcock, larks, guinea-foul, widgeons and grouse to eat. Cod, turbot, soul, sturgeon and eels joined the list of fish in season. Forced asparagus added a delicacy to the usual winter vegetables.
Stored apples, pears and preserved summer fruit appeared on the better, richer tables. No matter how much she might ache for Jack's love, Isabella knows she can never be the wife a future prime minister needs. Besides, she's forged a life and career of her own out from under the thumb of her brother. There is nothing for her in London.
Until Jack catches her under the kissing bough and makes the proposal of a lifetime. The following ISBNs are associated with this title:.
