Hey, look, kissing

[not_heavens_adam]

Huh... There's a mistletoe right above you... That's weird, it's Decemb-- oh wait. December is the perfect time to get stuck under the mistletoe with someone. And look! There's a someone else stuck with you under there right now! And, of course, you both can't move until you kiss one another.

How much do you know about mistletoe? Culturally speaking.

[COUGH COUGH COUGH, not going there.]

They are actually a parasitic plant and are most often found in trees and there is a distinct difference between European mistletoe and American mistletoe, though both are used for Christmas decorations.

Is there something else I should be informed of?

In eighteenth century Europe, unmarried girls would stand beneath balls of mistletoe and were unable to refuse a kiss. Superstition stated that those who remained unkissed by the end of the holiday would also remain unmarried for the coming year.

[ ahem. ]

Though said superstition is no longer really followed, the tradition of kissing beneath the mistletoe has remained.

...[Oh.]

Well that's highly inappropriate.
