At Savi's school each year, the 2nd grade classes put on a "Holiday" Program. They used to call it a CHRISTMAS Program but apparantly that offended someone somewhere, so they changed it. Hey, at least it's not a "Winter" Program, it could be worse I guess!
They have been practicing these cute songs since September and she was SO excited. We did her hair "extra fancy" in anticipation! This girl is a performer I think. Between her dancing, church and school performances she's had a lot of practice.
Mistletoe was my favorite song, I'd never heard it before. Here are the lyrics:
In the doorway of my kitchen, you might get an awful itchin’
To give somebody a big holiday smooch
For if you would look above your head
You’d see the green and white and red and put that little plant to use
It’s a fearsome, old tradition in the doorway of my kitchen
And there’s hardly anyone who can escape
(Let me out of here!)
If you stand inside the doorway, someone’s bound to make it your way
And unless you duck real fast
Smack, Yuck, Too Late!
CHORUS:
I want no part of this holiday kissing!
I know just what I’m missing and it’s fine
When my uncle kissed his fiancée
I thought they would be there all day
I don’t want any part of mistletoe! No, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t want any part of mistletoe
Well, Aunt Bertha nearly drowned me when she put her arms around me
And said, “Fancy that! Why, there’s the mistletoe!”
It was most unpleasant, but I knew she had my present
So I let her kiss me while I held my nose!
I want no part of this holiday kissing!
I know just what I’m missing and it’s fine
I don’t want a smooch or kiss or peck
Not on my cheek or on my neck
I don’t want any part of mistletoe! No, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t want any part of mistletoe
Get this!
Once the kid across the street came to our house for a treat
Hoping for a cookie or some pie
In the doorway he was standing when old Rover made a landing
And licked that kid until I thought he’d die
Everyone’s into this holiday kissing!
I know just what I’m missing and it’s F-I-N-E fine
From Aunt Bertha to Rover when will kissing time be over?
I don’t want any part of mistle toe! No, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t……..well maybe…..nah!
I don’t want any part of mistletoe! Smooch! Yuck!
Sweet and Sassy, just like my girl!

We are going to get some Mistletoe to hang in our kitchen because we like this song so much.
