"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.

a super idea.
You better get cherry flavor..
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!
(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!
Expect good to happen....it usually does!
Cheers!
