One particularly enjoyable Christmas tradition involves hanging mistletoe. Apparently, English farmers gathered mistletoe in bunches and hung them up in doorways, or other spots, to give guys permission to kiss gals whenever they found themselves under it. Every time a couple kissed, the guy had to pick off one of the berries. Once the berries had all been plucked off, the kissing had to stop.

Wherever people find themselves this year, I hope all those loving Latte Cafe couples out there enjoy the perks of mistletoe this Christmas.

As for the rest of the calendar, and throughout next year, I hope they make time to give each other all the little smooches, hugs, kind words, encouragement and anything else that will keep their spirit of mistletoe ever blooming.
