I'm not a Christian, but over the past few years,
Christmas celebration has been 1 of the most memorable & joyful one.

I have my English paper left for tmw's midterm. *fingers.crossed*
Soon after the paper, im hitting the malls for
christmass shopping
(includin pressies)!

SO many things in mind, but so lil $$$. dangg~


My friends told me bout the "mistletoe" thingy today,
during lunch break.
And, it sounds pretty interesting, so i googled bout it.
guess whad i've found??

Here's a lil smtg to share with yall,
to create the chrismassy mood in
YOU!
*points-at-u*

=)

Mistletoe is also said to be a sexual symbol,
because of the consistency & colour of the berry juice,
as well as, the belief that it is an
aphrodisiac,
the “soul” of the oak from which it grows.
The origin of the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe is vague.

SO CUTE! xD

The correct mistletoe etiquette is for the
man to remove a berry when he kisses a woman
.
When all the berries are gone,
there's no more kissing permitted underneath that plant.
A legend states that ...
a couple who kisses underneath mistletoe will have good luck, (thumbs.up)
BUT, a couple neglecting to perform the ritual will have bad luck. :


Specifically, it is believed that a couple kissing under the mistletoe
ensure themselves of marriage & a long, happy life,
while an unmarried woman not kissed under the mistletoe
will remain single for another year.

According to a custom of Christmas cheer,
any 2 people who meet under a hanging of mistletoe are obliged to
kiss.
The custom is
Scandinavian in origin.
