The belief that one kisses under the mistletoe came from Norse mythology in which after the death of the most handsome Norse god Balder died from a mistletoe dart thrown by Balder's blind twin brother Hoder, accompanied by none other than Loki, as Balder's mother Frigg made him immune to everything except for the mistletoe, Frigg decided to make the mistletoe a plant of love. Oh, and later, Loki was bound in chains made from the intestines of his sons with venom dripping on his forehead as punishment, and whenever the pot to collect venom becomes full, Loki would shake so hard in pain, earthquakes happen.
