New Holiday

Post Reply New Topic

If you could make a holiday, what would it be like? What traditions would it have? What would people eat on your holiday?

Clara Day - optional, paid, free order from take-out, free delivery of impossible-to-find movie, a dozen books, endless fruit, weather optional but dramatic. Song: The 12 Days of Christmas, then everybody has to leave. Revelation from my deep unconscious followed by necessary nap. New teddy-dog. Saying "Talk to the puppet" all day - choice of puppet: (this year) Heathcliff. Dress code: everybody has to wear a caftan, like me.

WildColonial Day - Sleep as late as you want, then after taking care of your assorted pets, go back to bed with a stack of books and said pets. Play whatever music you like while you’re reading. Eat all your meals in bed.

Everyone stays in their own space and enjoys downtime in pyjamas. Brontëana is provided free of charge by the taxpayers. Puppies, kittens and / or ghosts can appear by magic if desired. My Russian Osteopath who looks like Mr. Clean is available at all hours. Food includes very spicy pad thai, or butterscotch ice cream. The iconic drink is vodka and lime, or whiskey sours. Simon and Garfunkel is the only music permitted and if you play it enough Garfunkel sends a handwritten note, asking you for a date the following week. The weather is stormy and violent but your home needs no landscaping repair afterward. The theme song is Sound of Silence.
