Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe

Product Information

Frowning, Arthur did as he was bade. In the low light, his dark lashes cast sweeping shadows across his cheeks. Once fully attached to its host, mistletoe lives as any other plant would, flowering, fruiting, and spreading far and wide! Romantic,eh? The princess was so fixed on Arthur, she didn't appear to register the comment. Arthur, meanwhile, shot Merlin an unreadable look, before politely excusing himself. He paused at the foot of the dais before the king and his ward. Then perhaps even more interestingly is the story of the house's previous owner Laura, who had hidden a diary in the boathouse, and her story is revealed slowly in the form of diary entries. I found myself more eager to find out what happened to Laura and her love affairs, than the present day story at times.

While historians are uncertain about why kissing under the mistletoe started, there is a general consensus regarding when and where the custom began, and how it became popular during Christmastime. What was a surprise was how Arthur personally tended to the collapsed princess, rushing over to bestow the attention coveted by the other ladies at court. Hang on. You’re upset with me because I’m not upset that you’re courting a beautiful princess? How full of yourself are you?" I actually enjoyed the majority of the book. I liked the characters, not loved, but liked. I do love the main character moves to small town but they aren’t from a small town they are super famous and don’t know how to be a normal person type trope. The only thing is with this book that doesn’t really happen as Louise is surprisingly humble and knows just how to fit in. Which defiantly makes her character more likeable and I guess is a middle finger to the other characters that Louise isn’t fake like the tabloids say they were and she was originally from humble beginnings. Although commonly found in Europe, the myriad of mistletoe species spread geographically and can now be found in Central Valley, California. If you happen to forage through the trees, you may find green balls up to 2 feet wide forming on the branches -- and that's the mistletoe!I heard you want to kiss me,” Lena says, using all the courage built up from Kara’s rambling, her thumb soothing over the soft skin under Kara’s eye. “Because I’ve wanted to kiss you for, well, years, so maybe we could try that?” So whether it's at a holiday party or in a Christmas movie, there's a good chance you'll see some mistletoe this week. Just don't try to eat it. However, others say that the tradition is harmless, with columnist Allison Pearson writing in The Telegraph that mistletoe is the “silliest and flirtiest of yuletide traditions” and a “jolly ice-breaker”.

According to The Grocer, 71% of under-35s have never been kissed under the mistletoe, suggesting that the tradition may be on the decline. Merlin had dreamt of this more than he’d like to admit. He felt drunk off the taste and feel of Arthur. Even his magic seemed to spiral out of control, fizzing through his blood and leaving him lightheaded with lust. When the fires burned low and the carols tapered off, Arthur thanked their guests for making the journey to Camelot. His words were only slightly slurred by the wine, which was impressive considering how much he'd had to drink. He bid Princess Elwynne goodnight and kissed her hand before falling into step with Merlin. Lena,” Sam says, paired with a look Lena doesn’t particularly like. They’ve had this conversation before. Mistletoe is a plant that grows parasitically on trees. Mistletoe can cause Witches’-broom, a symptom of a disease that results in clusters of weak shoots, in the host tree. One way to harvest mistletoe is to climb high in the tree to get the clusters; another way is to blast them out with a shotgun. How’s that for festive?

Have You Ever Wondered...

Mistletoe is unique in that it can grow even in the depths of winter, which contributes to its image of fertility and vivacity, especially when it sprouts amonga batch of bare tree branches. Lena glances above them. “If I recall correctly, you said you didn’t want our first kiss to be because of the mistletoe, so the way I see it, you still owe me a mistletoe kiss.” Ben was an okay love interest. I liked him as a character and Laura together but he came across old to me. I know that sounds so rude of me but he was a typical dad. Not a dilf but a dad that falls a asleep in his chair with his glasses falling down and the sort of dad that would moan about the heating being on too long. So I felt the spark wasn’t really there for me. With Baldur nearly invulnerable, the gods made a game of throwing things at Baldur, since nothing would harm him. Baldur's brother, Hodur, couldn't participate as he was blind. Loki discovered that mistletoe had not made a promise. He put Hodur up to throwing a dart of mistletoe at Baldur, guiding his hand so that he would not miss.
