Mistletoe on Christmas Eve

I was going to write an essay (some would call it a blog) about the mistletoe that is in all of the barren sycamore trees around my neighborhood today. You know, a scientific analysis, a history, the lore … but, it is Christmas Eve and that would be a bit like analyzing Saint Nick or Rudolph on Christmas Eve.

Instead, let me show you a few pictures of the massive amounts of mistletoe surrounding our house. This does seem like a very good day to walk under the trees with my wife.



  
True, Santa Barbara has no snow,
But we have lots of mistletoe.
Walking the woods is a lot of fun,
With your love, its halcyon.


Merry Christmas to All!
