Downtown El Paso Decorated With Mistletoe

On Monday, the Downtown Management District held their inaugural mistletoe kiss event. If you head Downtown, you will see El Paso Street from the base of the international bridge to the Arts Festival Plaza with holiday decorations, including mistletoes the organization hopes to become an El Paso holiday tradition. While I do see this idea as an incredibly cute social media trend, the newly single me is very bitter. Can I bring my cat?

As the holiday shopping season begins, tons of people will be walking the streets of Downtown El Paso, enjoying the shops, restaurants and decorations. The DMD is encouraging shoppers to take a second to stop underneath the mistletoe, you will find hanging around the holiday banners, and take a photo of your own #EPMistletoeKiss.
