Days of Significance
That's Carrie's Easter Gin Martini. She swears it goes well with foil wrapped chocolate.
Easter is magical even to us hard souled ne'er-do-wells because it is a combination of all things important to little infantile hearts: Tragic Mythical Death at the hands of Villains, Flowers, Fancy Chocolate in Shapes you can only get once a year, and Fuzzy Baby Animals. Any holiday with this combination is guaranteed to be a success.
Possible New Holiday Ideas: Martin Luther King Day, with black and white chain shaped candies, lots of magnolias, baby doves.
Anne Boleyn Day: red roses, hard candies in the shape of royal jewels (we could wear them!), cocker spaniel puppies.
Ghandi Day: Lotus blossoms, cow shaped caramels, peacocks and calves.
John Lennon Day: Dandelions, pink colored sugar elephants and peanut butter filled globes, kittens.
Chico Mendes Day: Orchids, cinnamon and chili spiced Brazil shaped chocolates, baby parrots. Cause adult parrots are sort of scary.
Euripides Day: peonies, almond and pistachio wafers shaped like dogs, baby lambs and goats.
Tsar Nicholas II Day: Chamomiles and daisies, white chocolate revolvers and horses, bear cubs.

I am so in for Anne Boleyn Day. When do we celebrate?
ReplyDeleteOh my god May 19th! It's coming up! We have time to plan!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have the same birthday as John Lennon. I'm all about making it a national holiday. Get on that, sweet monkey chaps.
ReplyDeleteBut it's not about his birthday, it's about his death day. Birthdays are, pshaw, whatevs.
