Kissing Under The
Mistletoe
Perhaps, in conclusion, it would be appropriate to
make mention of a few kissing customs which have intrigued
mankind. For instance, there is the rite of kissing under the
mistletoe, at Christmas time. The origin of this custom is
uncertain. Suffice it to say, it must have been started by some
woman because, in it, She rule is that if a woman is caught
standing under a sprig of mistletoe, any man has the right to
kiss her, peremptorily, without asking her permission or
begging her pardon.
Here is one time when social convention doses its eyes
to lover's delights. For then, you can seize hold of the girl
with impunity and smack her to your heart's content without
being socially ostracized for it.
