Uncle Mistletoe

By Barbara Crews, About.com Guide

The Uncle Mistletoe character was originally introduced by Marshall Fields in 1946 as Santa's Goodwill Ambassador. Each Christmas he still tops their Great Christmas Tree in the State Street store. His message: "Take Time to be Kind".

Regal China made the original Uncle Mistletoe jar. It's a very hard-to-find jar and can easily have a price tag of over $1000.
