Merry Christmas
United Blvd.
Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or entryways from one room to another.
History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peace. In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace.
Digital cameras tend to be at the top of our holiday wish lists – but with so many features and options available, making the perfect purchase can be daunting. Most Canadians want cameras that can automatically adjust their settings as needed, have high quality lenses, and have a big zoom – but what else? It’s all about identifying the personality of your photographer! Find out what they will be using the camera for and what they’ll value most in terms of features. Here are a few examples of common personalities to get you started
North Bend
Mistletoe would later take on a more political meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came to symbolize the emasculation of the old king by his successor.
The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and is often associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18th century England, a young lady standing underneath the mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep romance or eternal friendship.
Golden Drive
Especially sacred to Celtic Druids, mistletoe was believed to bestow life and fertility, while also protecting against poison and serving as an aphrodisiac.
During the Middle Ages, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward off evil spirits. Throughout Europe, mistletoe was placed over doorways in the house as well as the stables as a means to preventing the entrance of witches.

Chances are, holiday revelers will find themselves underneath the mistletoe at least once this holiday season. While they might know what to do when that time comes, they might not know the history of that plant above their heads.

– does anyone sound familiar? Enthusiastic amateur – Known for their keen eye and excellent picture taking skills, the amateur photographer wants a camera that is versatile, high quality and dependable. Consider a detachable lens camera like the Lumix DMC-G2 which is lightweight, is operated by a simple touch-screen, has a versatile MOS sensor and can be used with eight different high-performance lenses. The LX5 is an extremely high-performing camera and small enough to fit in your pocket – this will make the photographer on your list very happy. World traveller – Whether in climbing the Eiffel tower or walking the Great Wall of China, the travel buff needs a powerful and portable camera that fits easily in their fanny pack. Look for a compact camera with a built-in flash as well as an Intelligent Auto mode to help capture night shots. Some models even have builtin GPS capability that digitally labels images with the location where they were shot – sorting through post-trip images has never been easier. Outdoor enthusiast – Always on the go, outdoor buffs need a camera that will stand up to rough and tumble outdoor activity on land, snow or water. Look for a
