We'd miss the mistletoe

According to British environmentalists, mistletoe is headed quickly towards extinction. It seems that the popularity of the Christmas foliage has led to overharvesting, and because the plant won't grow back after it is removed from its host tree, we are in danger of losing the best excuse for copious amounts of Christmas kisses.

We always had mistletoe growing up, but it was always fake. It still counts, though.

At least you didn't attach it to your waistline Scruff. LOL

Hmm, I have to wonder where exactly SeaWitch came up with the idea...

Mike, you of course still need mistletoe when you get older...that girl you like but never talk to? Good excuse to talk, and perhaps coax a kiss...see?
