If you don't currently kiss your mate everyday, use today to re-establish kissing in your life. Here are some Kiss Your Mate Day tips and rules: • There is no limit to the number of times you can kiss your mate today. • There is no limit to the number of kisses you can share today. • It is highly recommended that you limit your kisses to just one mate. • If you don't have a mate, it's alright to kiss someone who is not formally your mate.... Hey, you never know. This day may be a begin- ning...... • You can kiss your mate wherever you want (location/place). • Giving candy or fowers is not required. But, we suggest that those who do, will receive more kisses.
