Kissing bough

A kissing bough is a decoration made of greenery that looks like a big circle, like the ones we make with our arms when we hug someone. It's called a "kissing" bough because it is tradition to kiss someone when standing beneath it. The bough can be made with any type of greenery such as holly, mistletoe, ivy, and ferns. It's decorated with ribbons, fruits, nuts, and candles to make it look pretty. People make kissing boughs during Christmas time because it's a special time to show love, friendship, and goodwill towards others.
