Death of mistletoe: Work parties ditch Christmas tradition over abuse fears
(DAILY MAIL) — Wokery risks killing off the ancient tradition of kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas parties, according to the UK’s leading supplier of the plants.
Around a quarter as much of the festive foliage is up for grabs this year at Britain’s only annual mistletoe auctions in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, compared to past decades.
Once a staple of the office party, sprigs are now rarely bought by young people, renowned auctioneer Nick ‘Mr Mistletoe’ Champion lamented.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire.
When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
