💋 Xmas Lights - I dont care about the Mistletoe!

Some Christmas songs ask you to behave.

This one asks you to feel.

“I Don’t Care About the Mistletoe” was born out of a gentle rebellion against rules that tell us when love is allowed and how affection should look. You know the rules-wait here, stand there, count the berries, then maybe you’re allowed to kiss. But real love has never been that patient, and honestly, thank goodness for that.

This song lives in the in-between moments of the holidays: the quiet winter evenings, the broken homes, the silent nights that don’t make it into glossy Christmas movies. It’s for the people who know that one warm hug can change the temperature of an entire room. That reconciliation tastes like home. That peace isn’t a symbol hanging above a doorway - it’s something we practice with our bodies, our mouths, our arms wide open.

Yes, it’s playful.

Yes, it’s flirty.

But underneath the kisses and laughter is something very sincere: love doesn’t need permission, timing, or a season. It’s better when it’s given freely, out of season, whenever and whoever.

Evergreen trees stand quietly through winter, doing their thing without applause. That image stayed with me while writing this song. Maybe love is like that too -steady, stubborn, soft, and still standing when everything else feels frozen.

So this is a Christmas song, technically. But it’s also a year-round reminder that affection is not a limited resource. I will never run out of hugs and kisses. And neither should you.

If you take anything from this song, let it be this:

Kisses are still the greatest gift we’ve got. 💋✨
