Max comes home to his wife Minnie on Christmas Eve and says, "I left the mall in such a hurry today, I forgot to get two things."
"Like what?" Minnie asks.
"For one thing," Max says, "I forgot to get wrapping paper."
"That's okay," Minnie says. "You don't need to wrap my present."
"Actually," Max says, "That's the other thing."
I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
--Shirley Temple
If you're wondering why men may have not flocked to kiss you under the mistletoe, the answer may be that it was said that it will only work if the person you are kissing is a virgin. On the sixth day of the new moon, a Druid priest used to cut mistletoe from an oak tree with a sacred sickle. A passing virgin was called upon to catch the falling plant, which was not allowed to touch the ground.
