But in Högsby there are about 12,000 mistlets, you know, because a mist inventory was made eight years ago. And the mistletoe has also been given the name of various meeting places in Högsby.
- It's a little special, says Stig Holgerrson, who lives in Högsby.
For many, the mistletoe is a must during Christmas. By saying, as tradition says, putting a spigot over door holes, for example, gives you a place to be renovated.
- I don't know if you will be more loving because of it, but we are very much for kissing under the mistletoe anyway, he says.
Although there are plenty of mistlets in the district of Högsby, it is not free to pick them. The mistletoe is protected and only the landowner is allowed to pick mistletoe.
