Wordless Wednesday -- New Year's Eve Midnight Kiss

Many couples will be celebrating the new year with a big kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve. Kisses often mark the start of wonderful things -- love, sex, perhaps even a baby. With our busy lives and electronic gadgets, we don't kiss enough anymore. A text message will suffice. An e-mail is all we need to check in with our spouses. A phone call will do. But at midnight on New Year's Eve many a couple will turn to one another and start the year off right -- with a magical kiss.
For some people, this kiss will lead to holiday sex. I hear American couples talking. They tell me that they don't have much time for sex anymore, but they try to have sex on holidays and special occasions. If you have to schedule sex to make sure you have it, then go right ahead. But don't make kissing and sex a holiday-only happening. Let's pledge to make sex more of a any day thing. Keep your love life spontaneous and a constant in 2010 -- and you'll see that it will be your best year ever. Start it all with a kiss. You with me?
You’re so right – we need to be sure to focus on the important things, and not replace them with electronic messages. Here’s to a wonderful New Year for all couples!
Wish I’d done that when I was in NYC.
Fabulous picture! And you’re so right – focus on each other in the coming new year.
In Venice, Italy, they’ve given the midnight kiss a new focus – now it’s a giant communal kiss “to send a message of love, peace and brotherhood to the world.” While it’s a nice idea, it takes the focus completely off of couples.
Cool photo, but I like having a more peaceful New Year’s… if I stay up at all.
I’d rather snuggled down early, don’cha know!
I haven’t yet taken time to learn how to text, too busy with e-mail LOL and the buttons and print are too tiny on cell phones to bother with, but have to say love in any form is a good thing, why restrict how it’s expressed. I don’t really equate kisses with intimacies between couples, and see them as a simple expression of affection whether for a spouse, child or grandchild, and for some, even a beloved pet. Happy NY & WW
Now if I can just get DH to stay up.
I’m with ya Francesca!
I have some evidence in support of your theory. I have a LOT of friends and family members with September birthdays. I think we can thank New Year’s celebrations for their existence.
Happy New Year to all!
“Now if I can just get DH to stay up.” *giggle*
Very timely reminder. It’s amazing how easy it is to get busy and neglect our most important relationships.
