Mistletoe is a hemi-parasitic plant that absorbs nutrients from a benign host whose only desire is to furnish her home with Holiday Spirit and Good Cheer, but all she REALLY gets in return are sawed-off moochers and bitter crying jags.

Is that why people kiss under the mistletoe? To mimick sucking the life force out of another living thing?
Holy moley, Christmas is harsh.

Mistletoe's malevolent effects seem to be in direct proportion to the amount and strength of adult beverages available.
