And I have a guest with me today, my  elf, sassy boo, and drum roll please -  

it's Claire! Everyone's been asking to  see her. How old are you now Claire 8.

Okay so Claire planned this video today and the  video is on the word mistletoe. So the word is  

mistletoe. Mistletoe is a plant that grows  on a tree. And it's traditional to hang it  

over your door and then when it is hung over the  door if you catch someone standing under it you  

have to give them a kiss. yes. So to say mistletoe  correctly Claire can you please hold my board  

thank you very much. To say mistletoe correctly  we have three beats: miss ul toe miss ul toe

So for the first syllable miss you're going  to start with closed lips for that m. Move  

to that short i sound with relaxed open  mouth. You're just going to see your tongue  

peeking out there. Everything is relaxed. And  then move to the sss keep that air moving.  

Tongue does not touch your teeth. Tip of  the tongue is down or flipped back. Miss

Next we're going to move to syllable  number two ul. To do this you're just  

going to move your tongue up to touch the  back of your top front teeth. ul ul ul

And then you end with toe. Start by touching the  tip of your tongue to the back of your top front  

teeth for that t and then end with the o. To do  that open mouth and it moves to a pucker. Toe

Let's put it all together miss ul toe.

mistletoe mistletoe mistletoe mistletoe And now Claire's turn  

give me three times mistletoe mistletoe mistletoe

I hope that someone that you love is standing  under the mistletoe so that you can give them  

a smooch. And Claire would also like  to introduce her reindeer and what is  

your reindeer's name is mistletoe. Say  it again mistletoe show us mistletoe.

Okay this is mistletoe and sassy boo our  elf who's up there on the tree brought  

mistletoe for us so merry Christmas  and we will see you again soon bye!
