<----- You may all kiss me beneath the mistletoe. Go ahead, I insist

(Thanks to Julemand for making my avatar)


Seriously do you follow this tradition? Do you park yourself under a sprig in the hope someone will kiss you?

Please, please tell me you didn't do that with the foreknowledge you were smooching a cat's arsehole.

Ignoring all the cat licking that's going on in here (someone really should warn Elmo) no I have never done the Mistletoe thing.

In fact I don't know anyone who does it. I think it's a victorian tradition that is dying out.

it wasn't just any regular cat's arsehole. It was the fantastic Miss Chicken's arsehole. He is priveleged to be able to perform such a deed for free.

Oh, well if we're talking about eating pussy...

Well, my parents got married on the 19'the of December, so each year I have the perfect bouquet to bring them on their anniversary…

They do indeed use it that way -but it's usually worn out on the very same day though.

I think most girls/women in my area would scream "Sexual Assault" / "Date Rape" these days.

I'm not sure if I've ever kissed anyone under mistletoe...if I have, I was drunk and don't remember it.

We used to have this ridiculous fake ball of mistletoe that we'd hang up between the living and dining room in the house I grew up in, and I think I vaguely remember my parents kissing under it before they got divorced...

I think we've done that at home a couple of time, in the family. Plenty of mistletoe growing in that area.
Not the romantic kind, though.

I thought mistletoe was a parasitic plant that sucked the life out of trees and other plants.

I haven't seen mistletoe around in a long time. When I was a kid, it was a normal part of Christmas decorations. There were a few times I scored some mistletoe smooches at Christmas parties when I was a teenager....

 

[Goji]

I've never actually seen it in person, only in movies and on TV.

Is a mistletoe belt buckle wrong?

 

[trekkiedane]

^Very -I want one!

 

[MANT!]

Did it with my 1st wife every holiday. Odete (my last wife!! )...is from Brazil, and has never heard of the tradition..

Same here. It seems like a cute idea though!

If it is, then it's still the perfect metaphor for love.

It's a 100% Pagan tradition, though what the Druids did with it is probably best left to antiquity.

I don't know about the kissing, but mistletoe has a long tradition for being magic.

Odin and Frigg had a son, Balder, who was always a happy lad telling all the other gods about his happy dreams.
But one day he's dreams had a nasty turn and started foretelling his death which worried the gods, especially Frigg. She then went on a quest and had all things swear not to harm her son. The gods had a laugh at this and found it great fun to throw things at Balder only to have these things never break their oath and therefore miss him.

Loke, however, mad of jealousy of Balders invulnerability, dressed up as a woman and went to Frigg and asked about what she had done. Thus finding out that she had not considered the mistletoe a very dangerous plant and never had it swear the oath not to hurt Balder.
He then fashioned an arrow out of mistletoe… Well you can guess how this story ends…
