New Year Mistletoe Art

Mistletoe traditions in continental Europe differ to those of Britain, with use of mistletoe in New Year imagery rather than at Christmas.

	The "Au Gui l'an Neuf" tradition in France has led to many post card and greeting card depictions of mistletoe at New Year. These examples are from France and other countries.
