I'll tell you! From some red-blooded young male who desired to put a public lovin' on his sweetheart standing next to him. He looked to the sky for inspiration... and beheld a funny looking bush hanging from the ceiling. Instantly, a tradition was born.
But as with all things pagan, the Church will baptize them...
"Mistletoe, now frequently hung in a cluster from the ceiling or above the door, was one of the most sacred of the pagan Druid plants. They believed it to be endowed with many marvelous powers of healing. A kiss under the mistletoe is a pledge of friendship and love. Even in pagan times when enemies happened to meet under the mistletoe, they would pledge a truce until the following day. Called "all-heal" by the Druids, mistletoe was later seen to be an appropriate symbol for Christ, the Divine Healer." - www.catholicculture.org
Daaannny and Traaaaacyy sittin' in a tree. Kay eye ess ess eye enn gee! First comes love Then comes marriage Then comes the baby in the baby carriage! Then comes strife Then comes remorse Then come the papers filed for divorce!
I thought of it, my dear cousin Mason, as Mrs. Costello was hanging mistletoe from the doorframe a couple of days ago, and yet again as I was standing under it yesterday trying to trick Kolbe into walking over to me.
Shelley--I believe you are correct. If Dan ever wanted to get rid of me badly enough to divorce me, he would probably instead devise some freakishly intricate and absolute way of "disposing of me."
Does anyone know how to get rid of a five day long migraine??? It might help to get all of the screaming kids out of the house first, huh??.... :( It won't go away! ::sticks out lip and cries:: I'M DYYYYYYING!!!!!!!
Aww, I know how you feel. I went to the Doctor the other day and he told me I was dying. ;) I had the WORSE headache! He said I have Bronchitis, and a Sinus infection. grr. I have some med now, so I should be good by Christmas. You can come stay at my house. I don't have any screaming kids here.
Wait, kick who? Justin? Or me for my future murder plot of Tracy? I'm just stalling intead of posting the next "installment". I have it all finished, in fact I've had in done for 3 days, I just wanted to wait and see if anything else came to me.
You can kick me for that, if you want.
PS- here's my idiotic code word. I have it when you can't tell what the letters are.
::laughs:: you're such a dork. I was talking about kicking, Mason. But now I can kick you too, for not posting. You should post it right now, so when I get home I can read it. :)
Oh my gosh, Marcy. That is horrible! Those two are horrible things to have... They make you miserable. I'm sorry! That totally stinks. That should teach me not to complain... other people have it much worse then I do. I hope you get to feeling better soon!
I didn't feel all that great yesterday. But I'm feeling alot better today. :) I just need to find some time to sleep. That will prolly help me get over this stuff.

You may thank the ingenuity of the American male.
::laughs:: And you have your answer.

Wow, Justin. So encouraging.
You're so mean Justin. You know that Dan and Tracy will never get a divorce.

It never works.
He always runs away.
Laughing.
It's so cute.

He's got the imagination for it.
Whoa, If I were you, Tracy..I would kick him.
I can do it for you if you want me to. :)

Dan, will you PLEASE post the rest of the story????
Dan.
Now you're just being mean.
Thanks Beth, and Ginny. I already do feel alot better.
But, I'm sure I don't have it worse than you, Beth.
Headaches suck really bad! I hate them.
Does anyone know where the tradition of snoging behind the garage comes from?
Priestling is such a bore when he’s in a pious, preachy mood.
How is Mucous Marcy doin’?
A cure for migraines consists in going behind the garage…
I'm not in the mood honey.
I've got a headache!
I didn't feel all that great yesterday. But I'm feeling alot better today. :)
I just need to find some time to sleep. That will prolly help me get over this stuff.
Oh good!
Were you behind the garage?
I don't go behind the garage.
Oh.
I guess you take aspirin then.
Hehe...Yeah, that usually will do it.
