Greetings all,"Around thirty mischievous merry makers sneaked out in the dead of night on Friday, December 18th, to not-so-covertly install bundles of mistletoe over public spaces where people congregate in San Francisco. In a brief discussion with the mastermind behind this devious plan, he explained his motivations:
The theory is that by installing mistletoe over places like crosswalks, bus stops, the instersection in front of the ferry building, etc., we can cause a few moments where random folks will see the mistletoe, make eye contact, and then be faced with the choice of social norms: ignore the stranger and be a callous soulless creature, or smile and kiss a total stranger. I think this is interesting because most everyone wants to do the later, but not many people will take the risk of trying to kiss a stranger – unless there is encouragement.

O.M.G. - I actually saw one of these right by my drugstore on the way home from work . . .
and I TOTALLY loitered trying to find someone to kiss . . . but, alas, there was no one around . . . and I was starting to feel kinda creepy . . . lol.
but, I know where it is!
Kiss it forward! Robin
Oh, goodness! Your Chapstick comment had me laughing out loud! You are just too cute, SMW!
(I was actually faced with this "mistletoe awkwardness" a few years back. Fortunately, I knew the person--but we weren't quite "that close" UNTILL that moment!! Come to think of it, the last time I saw that fellow, he did apply Chapstick right in front of me...humm)
Hugs, KISSES and a very Merry Christmas to you!
How fun! Random acts of affection Love Love Love it better drop some tic tack's in your pocket as well. In case the cherry flavor chap stick attracts some real holiday magic and merriment!
Expect good to happen....it usually does!
Cheers!
