For my blog post today, I’d like to share a mistletoe kiss
that will forever be one of my favorite Christmas memories. This is Hayley, our
seven year old granddaughter, who, like most children her age, loves everything
about Christmas.
Shortly after Hayley arrived at our house last Friday
evening, she asked me if Papa liked where the mistletoe was hanging. (She had
offered her suggestions of where I should hang it several weeks before I’d even
thought about putting out Christmas decorations, and was glad to see I’d put it
where she’d suggested.)
I had to be honest and tell her I didn’t think he’d
noticed it. If I’d been thinking, I’d have grabbed my phone and recorded what
happened next.
She went over to Papa who was in a conversation with our son
and had no idea of what was about to happen. With nothing more than the curl of
a finger, she asked him to follow her. Without questioning, he followed her across the room. When
she stopped and once again curled her finger for him to kneel down, he did.
She then kissed his cheek, but it was the sparkle in her
eyes that made the moment so special when she then pointed up to the mistletoe
hanging overhead and giggled.
My wish for all of you is that someone very special will
lead you beneath the mistletoe this year.
Merry Christmas.
Lauri
