About the Song
Ah, the holidays. A time for family, friends, and of course, a little bit of romance under the mistletoe. Country music legend Toby Keith captures that feeling perfectly in his festive tune, “Blame It On The Mistletoe”. Released in 1995 on his album “Christmas to Christmas”, this song became a holiday favorite for its relatable story and warm, country charm.
Now, Keith is known for his tough-guy persona and anthemic hits, but “Blame It On The Mistletoe” shows a softer side. It tells the story of a man feeling a little lonely during the holiday season. December can be a bittersweet time, especially if you’re single. The hustle and bustle of the season can highlight what’s missing, but Keith’s character finds himself unexpectedly charmed by a chance encounter.
The song sets the scene perfectly. It’s mid-December, and the narrator finds himself drawn to a woman in line at the checkout. They strike up a conversation, and before he knows it, he’s walking her home. The magic of the season, perhaps a little nudge from the strategically placed mistletoe hanging above her door, leads to a sweet kiss.
“Blame It On The Mistletoe” is a reminder that love can blossom in the most unexpected places. It’s a feel-good song that perfectly captures the spirit of the holidays – a time for connection, hope, and maybe even a little bit of mistletoe magic. So, put on your favorite flannel shirt, grab a mug of hot cocoa, and settle in for a delightful dose of Christmas cheer with Toby Keith’s “Blame It On The Mistletoe”.
