An absolutely lovely and charming play about tradition, culture, languages, the fun of linguistics, the sheer unholy wrath of nature (only sort of joking about the last part). Syran doesn't provide an explicit setting for this couple (so having recently visited Québec, I'm pretending it's there), but it makes the themes of meshing traditions to create new ones all the more potent. A delightful scene in every way.

Nora Louise Syran beautifully creates an atmosphere filled with international romance, language, and holiday joy. You'll want a sip of eggnog and a cuddle while reading "That Wasn't Mistletoe."

Two traditions and who cares? It’s about love and yuletide and Christmas cheer. Traditions and language may differ but the love from both sides shines through,
