Hip, hip hooray to the British for their effort to spread cheer this Christmas season. In a message that seems more likely to come from the passionate French, the normally stoic Brits are encouraging kissing for Christmas. No, they won't let worries about the swine flu stop them from feeling the joy this holiday season. Who says the British are a bunch of stiffs? The message comes from Britain's authority on etiquette, Debrett, which says it's more hygienic to exchange kisses on the check than to shake hands. That means it's OK to stand under the mistletoe and kiss, as long as you pick "a willing target" and you hit the target's cheek. However, Debrett cautions, "It's acceptable to touch the other person's shoulders or upper arms, but don't be a sleaze with wandering hands." And "Don't make sound effects." So pucker up and have a jolly good Christmas, old boys (and girls).
