Description
This large gold mistletoe Christmas tree decoration takes the familiar winter sprig and gives it a golden finish from loop to leaf tip. Fine twisted gold stems branch out from a single hanging loop, and each one ends in either a flat gold leaf or a small round white bead berry with a soft pearly sheen. The leaves come in pairs, curving out from the stem just as real mistletoe does, and their brushed surface catches the light as the sprig turns. It spreads to around 30.4cm across, a generous size for a tree decoration, so it holds its own among the baubles rather than disappearing between the branches.
We like it hung from a sturdy branch near the front of the tree, where the gold leaves and white berries can be seen up close. Mistletoe has always belonged above a doorway at Christmas, too, and the loop makes it just as easy to hang from a hook in the hall, a beam or the top of a door frame for the old kissing tradition. It sits happily on a garland along the mantelpiece or tied to a wreath, and its gold finish pairs well with warm white lights and cream, gold or green decorations.
The stems are twisted together into a single trunk that runs up into the hanging loop, so the whole sprig hangs from one point and the branches fan out beneath it. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and store it flat in a box between seasons so the leaves and berries are not crushed. Hang it along a staircase garland for a touch of gold, or tuck it into the ribbon of a wrapped present as a thoughtful Christmas gift that can go straight on the tree.
