Billy and I shoot some Mistletoe
"Hey Ed. Get yer shotgun we go shoot some Mistletoe."

Interesting I think. I have never hunted Mistletoe before. So out in the Francis Marion Forest Billy shows me how to hunt Mistletoe. We bagged a few pounds. Bang. Bang. Bang.

That was just a few days before Billy's last Christmas.

Long time passing.

3. It grows in trees
One aims the shotgun in the general direction of the growth and shoot. Often some of the Mistletoe will break loose and fall to the ground screaming and hollering in pain. The blood is green.

Later as the Mistletoe induces sweet kisses between lovers and others the Mistletoe sees the happiness it has created.

And all is well. I guess.

4. Mistletoe
is a Hemiparasite. The ancient peoples considered it an aphrodisiac. It is an interesting plant with a very interesting relationship to mankind.

Very well worth a Google.
