I remember festevis. That's funny. Haven't thought about that for a long time. Seinfeld was a great show.

The Snow Shovel Migration. We'd all strap snow shovels to our bumpers and start driving south until someone asks "What is that?" Then we'd make camp.

Seems like Christmas is all too often a very stressful time. People worry about getting the right gifts, making the tree and lights and ornaments look just right, and preparing elaborate meals. It shouldn't need to be that way. It should be a break from the normal routine, certainly, but it should be a time to recharge and think about what really matters.

If I were to design a new winter holiday, then, I would place an emphasis on simplicity, family togetherness, and relaxation. Any decorations should take no more than a half hour to set up. No gifts would be expected. The evening would end with the family sitting around a fireplace or a board game or just a plain living room, drinking hot cocoa, talking, and enjoying each other's company. That's what's really important.

One cold December night, I went to the supermarket to get some eggnog. I reached for the glass bottle at the same time as some other man. After raining blows upon his head, the bottle slipped out and shattered on the floor. The eggnog was ruined, but out of it, the spirit of Indulgemas was born.

This holiday is for those who hate the commercial aspects of the holidays, but love the eating and chance to indulge. It is centered around food and drink, and all are merry. Like the airing of grievances, everyone goes around the table and tells when someone held them back from indulging, showing how many problems they have with each other. Naturally, Christmas foods, gingerbread cookies, and eggnog are strong symbols of the celebrations!

My new holiday is RETURN-a-THON.

As Americans most of us have way to much stuff already. On RETURN-a-THON day we all take back 90% of the stuff we got that we really don't need, and instead of getting cash the stores send the money directly to the charity of your choice.

peace,
joe

Chrismeximus. You would wake up in the morning and there would be tacos and tortas under the tree and chile rellenos would be hung by the chimney with care.

Winter Peace festival: People can really take time to think seriously about how to promote peace. A day for meetings and volunteer recruitment that ends with public meals where everyone is welcome (everyone sitting side by side and talking). Maybe in January, when holiday volunteering is done, but the need remains.
