Pronunciation: list ill to

Sentence: When Yul & Holly decorated their apartment for Christmas, they had trouble getting anything to hang up straight. They ended up calling one particular thing the listletoe because it meant you had to lean into your partner to get a better kiss. Hmm, maybe it was not such a bad idea...and maybe putting some Viagra in the tree water might spruce up their Christmas Tree!

Etymology: List (to lean to one side) & Mistletoe (Old World parasitic shrub having branching greenish stems with leathery leaves and waxy white glutinous berries; the traditional mistletoe of Christmas, which people have to kiss each other when under it)

Pronunciation: evərlēn

Sentence: Horace is no good at picking Christmas trees. No matter how good it looked in the lot, every tree he took home was an everlean. Somewhere between the tree lot and home the trunk would develop a bend. A few years ago he thought he could dupe the fates by buying an artificial tree. No such luck. Somehow it was damaged in transit and it too refused to stand upright.

Etymology: ever (at all times; always)+ lean (be in or move into a sloping position)
