Happy Three Kings Day!  Did anyone else put out their shoes last night?  Ours were filled with mini doughnuts and game boy games!  Catholics of Central/South American Origin, represent!

I wish I had known about this holiday.  Anything that involves putting doughnuts in your shoes has to be worth celebrating.

Actually, putting out your shoes is in celebration of St. Nicholas Day, which is December 6th.

BUT NICE TRY ANYWAY


And we Catholics call today "Little Christmas."

I won all the Feats of Strength, but I took a beating on the Airing of the Grievances. We took our Festivus Pole down yesterday.

Oh yeah, it's Twelfth Night.  I used to celebrate that back in the good old days when I dressed up and pretended it was the Middle Ages.  Back before there was hardly an Internet.  Oh wait, I guess that really was the Middle Ages...

Oh, August. I'm not sure whether to stab you myself or let Jough's Quasi-Pseudo-Meta-Pun Detector catch up with you.
