There should really be a holiday thread.
Just an idea. If anybody disagrees, let them post their annoyed accusations here. Rest assured, I shall not read them (joking!)
However, there is a 99% chance that I shall immediatly slay he who insult me and that I shall then reanimate his/her body.
No offense

My favorite holiday was just last week, FIFA Day, when the new FIFA Soccer video game comes out. This annual tradition is celebrated with a gathering of friends, the imbibing of liquor, and smack talk of epic proportions. It's a time when the records of the last season are cleared and the ground is even, where former champions are even with unseasoned rookies. It's the only day of the year we play with the commentary on.
It is my Christmas.

I seem to recall that one ending in bitter sorrow. : P
Well, I need my friends to remember that they can buy me alcohol on other days of the year as well. They need not splurge an entire year's alcohol spending on one day. ;)
I'm a big fan of Pretend You're a Time-Traveler Day, which I think is in December sometime...
Well it certainly was three years from now.

My favorite holiday is Buy Mike Alcohol Day.
Followed closely by Buy Mike Sugary Snacks Day.
On second thought, maybe I like the latter one better. Hmm...
For real excitement, you could consider alcohol to *be* a sugary snack, and combine the two into a new, epic holiday.

I wish the U.S. celebrated Bonfire Night. *sigh*
I'm not sure if they still do, but Milford NJ used to celebrate it. DOn't ask me why, outside of them having a "British" style brew pub in town.
Then again, in Frenchtown NJ (where I live) we celebrate Bastille day every year.

Yes. February 15th is Transnational Discount Chocolate Day. Not quite as fun, but get's the point across nonetheless.

Did everyone remember to set a bonfire tonight? Or overthrow something? Or at least say a lot of "v"-words?
Well, I went to watch a massive bonfire being lit on Saturday evening. But I do have a tradition of watching the "V for Vendetta" movie every November 5th (note that this "tradition" is not very old). I think it captured much of the spirit of the book, though it doesn't have the same depth, of course. I also enjoy putting on my V mask and saying "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having."

Bug Out day; one of my favorites; you get together with all your buds whose life is in the crapper and those whose lives are going great and you Bug Out, beat drums; drink booze, eat all kinds of food; dance, tell jokes, sing songs, make a bon fire, you know; just Bug Out and get some relief from life's stresses.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
