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 is Buy Mike Alcohol Day.
Followed closely by Buy Mike Sugary Snacks Day.
On second thought, maybe I like the latter one better. Hmm...

I'm a big fan of Pretend You're a Time-Traveler Day, which I think is in December sometime...
I always liked the idea of "Talk Like a Pirate Day," but I keep forgetting to celebrate it...It's in September, I think.
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.

Equinox day
Night or day, the same amount of partying
My favorite holiday is Saturday.

For real excitement, you could consider alcohol to *be* a sugary snack, and combine the two into a new, epic holiday.

Earth Day! (April 22)
I only mention this because I am wearing my Earth Day t-shirt right now.

Halloween and Mardi Gras.
Basically, if reveling is invloved, I'm down.
I'm a big fan of Nov 1st, International Half-Priced Chocolate Day.

Texas Independence Day. Means imbibing lots of Texas made alkeehaul y'all! I love that we have so many choices. :o)
remember, remember the fifth of November...
Or mebbe Halloween!
My favorite day is, "didn't wake up with a migraine" day. Wish it would come more often.

I wish the U.S. celebrated Bonfire Night. *sigh*

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.
It was Crowleymas the other day.

Go into any place that sells Valentine's chocolates two days after Valentine's day and pick it all up for a steal.

My favorite holiday is that day in May when we have made enough money to have paid off the IRS for the year if we could have sent them everything we made for the year so far. What do they call it - tax freedome day?

Did everyone remember to set a bonfire tonight? Or overthrow something? Or at least say a lot of "v"-words?

Bloody Fawkes- muppet was a patsy who didn't have the decency to finish the job he was given.
Now Oiche Samhain- there's a proper Bonfire night- decent Pagan stuff.
drunken_nomad wrote: 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."

Yeah, I love Guy Fawkes. Of course, to celebrate a traditional Guy Fawkes, you have to hang, draw and quarter an Italian. These fireworks are just a modern affectation.
And girls; remember, there is no bad time to give chocolates or flowers; guys will even share em with you then generally other things if you want :)

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.

chocolate kisses or hugs; they work well on me anyway :)
