EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming snapshot from the 1910s capturing the essence of the holiday season: Champagne and Mistletoe. This image evokes the romantic and festive atmosphere of a bygone era. The couple, dressed in their finest attire, share a moment under the lush, green mistletoe. Hanging above them, the delicate white berries add a touch of winter wonderland magic to the scene. In one hand, the woman holds a flute of bubbly Champagne, its golden liquid reflecting the warm glow of the room's decorative lights. In the other, her partner reaches up to pluck a mistletoe berry, a tradition believed to bring good fortune and happiness to those who kiss beneath it. The combination of Champagne and mistletoe is a timeless custom that has been embraced during the Christmas season for centuries. The ancient Romans believed that the mistletoe plant held powerful healing properties, while the ancient Druids considered it a symbol of fertility and rebirth. The first recorded use of the mistletoe as a kissing tradition dates back to the 15th century in England. As for Champagne, its association with celebration and luxury began when the monks of the Abbey of Hautvillers in Champagne, France, began producing the sparkling wine in the 17th century. This delightful image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that make the holiday season so special. Cheers to the magic of Champagne and Mistletoe!
