It’s pretty much an unwritten law that if you meet someone beneath the mistletoe, you’re forced to partake in a smooch, right?

Well, why not just carry that mistletoe with you? Then you can be a right proper HoHoHo this Christmas and nobody can judge you for trying to get into the Holiday spirit, right? You’re not being a perv. You’re being innovative. Plus, it’s a pretty good-looking headband to boot, so you won’t be missing out on any style points with it.

Sure, you might accidentally stand right in front of a crackhead with no teeth on the metro, but you might also get to stand in front of heartthrob Jason Momoa or beauty Alison Brie, and wouldn’t that just make it all worth it in the end? Maybe?

You can get the headband here.

We featured Teachers: The Web Series this past weekend, but I felt this one might hit home for some of our educators out there.

I spent a year working on my teaching certification, until I actually went to shadow a high school teacher for a couple weeks. Being in the classroom was amazing, fun and pretty informative to what I would be dealing with. Fortunately (or unfortunately for all you parents out there who only wish that I would be teaching your children), I also got to experience the other side of teaching: parents and administration.*

Overly involved parents who don’t actually listen to you, like the woman in the video above, are actually quite common. Having parents call teachers “morons” or question their abilities as an educator, then having administration backing the parents instead of the educator? Also commonplace. There are other types of parents as well (the IDGAF, the “my child can do no wrong,”) , but the one like the mother up there? That’s the one that really bundled my girdle.

So, enjoy as the teacher in the above video puts the mother in their place. Because you all wish that you could do it.

*No, I am not still actively pursuing a teaching cert. But if you really want me to teach your kids, I’m sure we can work out some sort of arrangement. I’ll take chocolate and baked goods as payment.

Even while ducking from huge explosions in Gaza, Anderson Cooper still has the time to dish out a really good burn on Twitter.

Touché, Anderson. Touché.
