Word of the Day: Mistletoe
Mistletoe is a popular plant around the Christmas season.
Many people use it, or a plastic version, to decorate their houses.
It’s all a part of the Christmas tradition of using greenery to decorate our houses to symbolize life, even in the middle of winter.
It’s a common tradition to kiss someone standing under the mistletoe.
However, it is best to ask politely first and then be sure you know who you are asking before you do.
Due to current events in the States, I don’t think there’ll be much kissing under the mistletoe this year.
However, I’m very happily married, so I don’t need to worry about that.
I’ll still have to be careful because my wife may catch me under the mistletoe when I’m not looking!
