Dear Diary,
I wait all year for this very day. The Christmas season has begun. And in honor of such a day, I'd like to turn our attention to the grand tradition of Mistletoe. You see, I think the emblem has lost a bit of its power over the years. I think it's lost a bit of its prominence in decorating. But in no uncertain terms has its necessity been diminished. Now is the time when we need mistletoe more than ever.
And by "we" I refer to the single lot of us, who roam the earth unequal to the task of relationships without the commanding power of the mistletoe. We may fear its power when used for evil rather than good, but I know there is good in it. I know it has magical powers that can catapult two people into a happiness never before experienced. I know, that when used correctly, this little arrangement of leaves and berries can bring about beautiful results.
You see, I have before been under its power. But such occurrences were deemed "too little, too late." No, mine was not an occasion of beginnings. Mine, was an aoccasion of "obligation." I would like to see this great tradition restored to its rightful place, putting awkward moments between friends, and beloved memories among crushes. I would like to see who might meet me betwixt mistletoe and floor this holiday season. And what exciting results might pursue? It will not be the boyfriend of "yore" who dragged me beneath, but a stranger perhaps with mysterious eyes and a bewitching smile. (It wouldn't hurt if he listened to 40s music).
When are you hanging your mistletoe? Mine will be up tomorrow...
