I read the following article online last week and thought I should spread the word to my 3.5 followers. Christmas is definitely in the air and mistletoe is always strewn about like confetti on New Years Eve. Keep this article in mind...
No wandering hands: Etiquette adviser says mistletoe kiss on cheek not lips to avoid swine flu
London (AP)—Britain’s authority on etiquette says it’s more hygienic to exchange kisses on the cheek than to shake hands—so the swine flu pandemic should not make people afraid of kissing under the mistletoe this holiday season.
But Debrett’s warns people to observe proper etiquette by kissing others on the cheek instead of the lips and to avoid touching the person being kissed except on the shoulder or upper arms.
Debrett’s etiquette adviser Jo Bryant warns people who are not feeling well to avoid parties altogether.
She also urges those who have been drinking a lot to steer away from the mistletoe—because their “social skills will be impaired.” She did not elaborate on the swine flu implications of that.
What in the hell??????? I’m wondering if the swine flu is completely out of control in Britain. If they’re taking health tips from an etiquette adviser the Brits are definitely doomed.
