Mistletoe is a plant! It has green leaves and red berries. We hang it up in bunches just like you hang up the herbs! It doesn't really smell. Like I said, we use it to keep bad spirits away!

That sounds like Barmbrack! It is bread that little items are baked into and the one you get tells your fortune for the coming year! But we do that at Samhain not Yule.
