We don't do the old holidays.
But Happy November Holiday!
Feel free to celebrate this holiday any day in November that is convenient for you!
Here's an excerpt from my book, available free for Kindle Unlimited!
November’s Newest Holiday Tradition
This is the most important day in all of November. I know some of you are wondering what happened to that other famous holiday, something with turkey, and I have no idea. From here on out, November shall always be known as my birthday. I don’t mean one specific day.
No, like the old, forgotten holiday this day shall be flexible. If your family and friends are available on a Tuesday, celebrate it then! The first Saturday of the month is open? Perfect! The best part is that there are already greeting cards, wrapping paper and other celebratory items like plates and cups and napkins imprinted for this holiday. When everyone else is trying to find old-holiday-themed nonsense, you will make out like a bandit with plenty of Birthday Loot ready to go for your autumnal celebration of my birthday!
Now some of you may think I have selfish reasons for doing this, but I actually have a perfectly legitimate excu- I mean reason! The former holiday from this month was the most egregious offender of all the holidays.
Not only were we bombarded with recipe suggestions and tips, but it really seemed to be the most perfectly crafted homesteader holiday. I mean, it was a day memorializing the very way of lifestyle choices and behavior that the homesteaders are trying to bring back. Since I honestly find the whole thing to be a scary waste of time and money, I protest by removing that holiday from the calendar, and replacing it with my birthday.
We Non-Steaders will, from this day forth, continue the great traditions of eating too much and watching some sporting event no one cares about after watching a parade* we can’t remember the reason for watching –if we happen to celebrate on that day - and then we will all pass out before 6 pm!
We will not give those homesteaders the satisfaction of allowing them to sully this great day with color-coordinated table laying events and jars of something with cranberry in it (Seriously? Again with the mason jars?). Or way too many pictures of food and food accessories on InstaHam! This is a day to be thankful that someone worked enough to buy whatever we are lucky enough to eat, and we shall remember that every November. On a day of our choosing.
*My Birthday is actually the second if you want to be specific about it, but there isn’t a parade that day usually.
