I thought , it is appropriate to remind us what the mistletoe at all to weigh the answers.:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kissing under the mistletoe
Nowadays, mistletoe is commonly used as a Christmas decoration, though allusions to mistletoe as a Christmas green are rare into the eighteenth century. Viscum album is used in Europe whereas Phoradendron serotinum is used in North America.
According to a custom of Christmas cheer, any two people who meet under a hanging of mistletoe are obliged to kiss.
The custom is English, rather than Scandinavian in origin. The mistletoe must not touch the ground between its cutting and its removal as the last of Christmas greens at Candlemas; mistletoe might remain hung through the year, often to preserve the house from lightning or fire, until it was replaced the following Christmas Eve.
The tradition has spread throughout the English- speaking world but is largely unknown in the rest of Europe.
In previous times the tradition was that the couple took away a fruit each time until they were all used up and at this point the mistletoe lost its vitality.
The appearance and nature of the fruit's content (viscin) is very similar or suggestive of human semen and this has strengthened its pagan connections.
Other uses and mythology
The leaves and young twigs are the parts used by herbalists, and it is popular in Europe, especially in Germany, for treating circulatory and respiratory system problems, and cancer.
Mistletoe is being studied as a potential treatment for tumors. Although such use is not yet permitted in the U.S., mistletoe is prescribed in Europe.
Mistletoe figured prominently in Norse mythology: the god Baldur was killed with a weapon made of mistletoe.
Mistletoe bears fruit at the time of the Winter Solstice, the birth of the new year, and may have been used in solstitial rites in Druidic Britain.
In Celtic mythology and in Druid rituals, it was considered an antidote to poison, but it is now known that the fruits of many mistletoes are poisonous if ingested, as they contain viscotoxins.
The Christian tradition that mistletoe furnished the wood of the Cross, but shriveled and became dwarfed after the Crucifixion.
In Romanian traditions, mistletoe (vâsc in Romanian) is considered a source of good fortune. The medical and the supposed magical properties of the plant are still used, especially in rural areas.
Mistletoe has sometimes been nicknamed the vampire plant because it can probe beneath the tree bark to drain water and minerals, enabling it to survive during a drought.
William Shakespeare gives it an unflattering reference in Titus Andronicus, Act II, Scene I: "Overcome with moss and baleful mistletoe"
Mistletoe is the state floral emblem for the State of Oklahoma. The state did not have an official flower, leaving the Mistletoe as the assumed state flower until the Oklahoma Rose was designated as such in 2004.
In a popular myth, confusing Mistletoe and the Holly 'holy' Tree, the most sacred tree of the Druids, it is said that Mistletoe was cut with a gold sickle and it lost its power if it fell and touched the ground. The confusion arises from both plants being green all year and both having colorful fruits as well as sharing similar history concerning the winter months.
--------------------------------------------------------------
AS seen above I feel that it is more appropriate to hang the Mistletoe in the house somewhere at a height, so that persons can reach under it, and it does not touch the ground and can be retained there for almost an year.
I don't know if this can be hanged at the belly button or in the region of groins, or zip of the jeans, hair etc as mentioned by other friends.
It is clear that, According to a custom of Christmas cheer, any two people who meet under a hanging of mistletoe are obliged to kiss. So it is not kissing Miles toes hung all around belly of our hostess, and start kissing around missing any point of importance in that area.
So I suggest that our heroine should hung it at such a place that visitors cannot find it out and only our hostess finds out when we both come under it, giving an obligatory kiss, to the lucky one.

I tried to hang it over my belly button, but it turns out that I am allergic to mistletoe and now my groin region has swollen to the size of a football. No complaints.
