So many of my friends are posting pictures of their Mistletoe. I didn’t get to the #OBOD Winter Gathering this year. So here’s my Missile Toad instead. /|\ 🧙‍♂️#MissileToad #Mistletoe #Wintersolstice #midwintersolstice #urbandruidry #druidlife #justdruid

Here’s Why People Kiss Under the Mistletoe at Christmastime

Many people trace the tradition to Norse mythology, but other experts say its roots are more mysterious than that.

About to partake in the hanging of our first annual #MissileToad He is a happy fellow sporting this year's latest toad mounted #LEGO missile launcher. Thank you Maria for the tip. My guy rolled his eyes but is a fan of kissing under the missiletoad. And my boys are fans (of the toad, not the kissing) #traditions

#MissileToad​s sind ein traditioneller englischer und US-amerikanischer Weihnachtsschmuck, der die typische Mischung aus Romantik und Aggression rund um das Weihnachtsfest symbolisiert.

Begegnen sich zwei Personen unter einem Missile Toad, so gilt es als erlaubt, auch ohne Einholung eines vorherigen Einverständnisses und sogar bei als abgemacht anzunehmenden Nicht-Einverständnis die andere Person (dennoch) zu küssen.

Early morning text from my partner: “I can’t stop giggling at this. Can you make this happen?”

One of many reasons I love her.
