Yes, my stepdad used to shoot it out of the walnut trees in the back yard because my mom always wanted it.
I'm curious as to how mistletoe became what it is now; it's really just a parasite. Interesting.

For spaghetti sauce?
Mistletoe doesn't grow in New England. Perhaps it's for the best. lmao

here's what i know/have learned about it:as for kissing under the mistletoe it was believed that it increased ones chances of getting married in the coming year, hence the tradition of kissing under it in the christmas season which, as we all know, falls at the end of the year. other useless facts: ancient druids believed that mistletoe could bestow health and good luck. why? i don't know. welsh farmers believed it to be an indicator of upcoming harvests. if the mistletoe grew well so would their crops. it was also used in early medicine to help/cure everything from infertility to epilepsy to rabies and, oddly enough, as an antedote to poisoning. i say this is odd because the berries from mistletoe are poisonous themselves. *shrug*
yep. it grows here.

Mistletoe is here and it's also shot out of trees and sold locally. I'm just trying to get over the fact that the word mistletoe means "dung on a twig" rofl

I haven't seen it around here, but that doesn't mean it isn't around. Guess I've never looked.
