Yesterday I wrote that part of plan­ning your holi­days and creating holiday tradi­tions is a good way to ensure that your rela­tion­ship solid­i­fies. So here’s the first of your parlor games for your holiday couples’ party: Kissing Games… no not kissing someone else’s partner. Kissing your own. Prac­ticing PDAs!

Set up some cate­gories: movie kiss, shy kiss, wedding kiss, goofy kiss… and here’s an impor­tant one: the first kiss. do you remember what that was like? tell the story. Remember. what other kinds of kisses are impor­tant to have?

Icky you say? You know, it’s good to prac­tice the romance and to acknowl­edge that it’s hard work. It’s good to giggle about it, and to giggle about it with other friends. So many people give up kissing when romance deepens to rela­tion­ship. Kissing becomes prelude rather than a goal in itself. Remember what it was like when you first started kissing. Somehow that degen­er­ates to Quick pecks. nice, but not a meal in them­selves! No, long luxu­rious kisses will go a long way to making life and marriage sweeter!

Tip: call a party of your favorite couples together for a party and parlor games. hold a kissing contest. Figure out prizes. Laugh a lot. Kiss! Laugh some more. Then when your guests go home find ways to add more kissing to your rela­tion­ship. It’ll do you a world of good!

Your Holiday Wedding: Jingle Bells Rock!

OK, I admit it, I’m in love with Jingle Bells. I adore them. I love the sound of beau­tiful bells in the air. They’re certainly seasonal, So, why not use them at the wedding? Let them take the place of bubbles and that silly glass clinking.

Tip: Be over come with that holiday feeling: Use Jingle Bells! The little ones cost almost nothing and you can get a pretty nice one if you want to hand out a deco­rated one as your favor. (by deco­rated, I mean deco­rated with a lovely ribbon.)

Hand them out to your guests when they arrive and suggest they use them when you kiss and then again when you walk down the aisle.

Have guests ring them when you come in the door at the recep­tion and when they want you to kiss. If you haven’t given them to people before, put them in a basket at the cock­tail party and ask a couple friends to carry a basket around to hand out to people. The sound is magical!

Holiday Wedding Reception:
Where’s the Mistletoe!!?!!

Hey! What is it? Why have we forgotten that mistletoe thing? It’s your holiday wedding. Hang it every­where. Give it out as favors. Forget that glass clinking thing. Let people hold up the mistletoe and then you kiss. Then get them back. Hold up your mistletoe and make everyone else kiss. We’ve forgotten how impor­tant kissing is. “We’re best friends.” Hey, I have a lot of really good friends. None of them can lay a smacker on me the way my Sweet Pea can. And really, I’m not inter­ested in finding out. But kissing is a lost art. Encourage it. Let your couples remember that they felt this way and got married for a reason too. And there’s no reason why people can’t exchange perfectly appro­priate kisses with other people. Parlor games included kissing games for years, even during Victo­rian Times.

I know, it’s hard for an unmar­ried person. So work harder at your guest lists! help your friends out! You’re in love, which of your great friends might like your other great friend? Seat them together!

Tip: Buy small pack­ages of of mistletoe as favors and teach people the mistletoe rules (this is a good thing to tuck into the best man or woman speech.) People are old enough to know the rules about appro­priate social behavior (and if someone is out of line, there’s nothing more discour­aging than an ooh, ugh! said in a carrying kind of voice. It’s much more effec­tive than a smack! and hand a kissing bough onthe dance floor and kissing balls all over the place. Have a good time at your wedding! Giggling at your wedding is gener­ally consid­ered a good thing!
