Hmm. Palatine Send a noteboard - 28/12/2012 11:58:42 AM
There are only five recognized holidays at the end of the year. They are, in roughly the order they usually appear:


I didn't realize you were limiting it to the end of the year.

1. Hanukkah

2. The Winter Solstice

3. Festivus

4. Christmas/Sol Invictus

5. New Year's Eve/New Year's Day


I was thinking about things like Valentine's Day, Mothers'/Fathers' Day, Colombus Day. These are examples of "holidays" that I think are bogus.

Well, ironically enough, we are having a White Kwanzaa! Cannoli - 27/12/2012 12:39:32 AM 436 Views
Quit making up holidays that don't exist. *NM* Tom - 27/12/2012 03:31:27 PM 350 Views
What are some other holidays that don't exist? *NM* Palatine - 27/12/2012 07:29:46 PM 104 Views
Well, make up a name and you have made up a holiday. Tom - 27/12/2012 08:05:38 PM 461 Views
Wait, I thought Kwanzaa WAS Festivus. Joel - 28/12/2012 01:12:22 AM 241 Views
I would wager more people celebrate Festivus than celebrate Kwanzaa. Tom - 28/12/2012 01:30:38 AM 268 Views
I do not make sucker bets. Joel - 28/12/2012 02:28:15 PM 327 Views

Seriously? Columbus Day? Isaac - 28/12/2012 01:18:50 PM 273 Views
Columbus Day was only invented by Big Business to sell... um... what IS the Columbus Day gift? Joel - 28/12/2012 02:22:59 PM 448 Views
Smallpox. Share it with your American Indian friends. They'll give you syphilis in return. Tom - 28/12/2012 02:45:09 PM 235 Views
Er, no, thanks. Joel - 28/12/2012 05:19:48 PM 228 Views
Amazingly none, except Tom's, and that's not viable with modern medicine... start a petition? *NM* Isaac - 28/12/2012 03:02:41 PM 105 Views
Hey, both can still be given, though the former is more of a challenge than the latter. Joel - 28/12/2012 05:31:30 PM 224 Views
Apparently 'Globes' is the suggested gift, which makes sense but like smallpox is likely outdated *NM* Isaac - 28/12/2012 03:14:28 PM 308 Views
I dunno, globes require no electricity. Joel - 28/12/2012 05:57:32 PM 231 Views
Genocide Day would be a more appropriate name. Or Imperialism Day, I guess. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 12:54:06 AM 105 Views
Too many other Genocides or Imperial expansions, it would be Amerocentric to pick that as focus *NM* Isaac - 29/12/2012 01:10:23 AM 102 Views
Well said Praziquantel - 29/12/2012 04:59:45 AM 454 Views
Genocide would imply actual intent. Tom - 29/12/2012 03:29:37 AM 727 Views
All true. Palatine - 29/12/2012 04:22:21 PM 459 Views
Don't get me started on Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day Tom - 28/12/2012 02:43:42 PM 463 Views
Yes. This is my point. Palatine - 29/12/2012 04:25:27 PM 237 Views
