Prompt Advent Calendar - Day 5

Today's prompt was to write a short piece (500 words or less) about a kiss under the mistletoe.

Arrival

And your lips tasted like Christmas. Stood at the door, winter wind blowing you into the warmth of these arms. The cool touch of your hands melting against my cheeks as you hold my face delicately; a wine glass only you can drink from.

You pull the sprig from your pocket - pearlescent berries glowing in the soft yellow of hallway light. I trace the curvature of your lips as you smile, holding the branch above you. And your lips tasted like Christmas.
