Christmas in July

We are having an interesting event here at the nudist resort this weekend. We are celebrating Christmas in July. People are decorating their decks with Christmas ornaments and they will be judged for (I'm guessing) the most electric consumption, how many airplanes try to land on the deck and who can get the tree the furthest up the angel's ass. OK... I made that last one up. There is also going to be a gift exchange at poolside during the day and there will be a Christmas theme costume party at the dance that night.

Naturally, I started asking what other non sequiturial holidays we can celebrate if this is a success. Like Groundhog Day in September. However, no one has access to any groundhogs, other than roadkill, and we all thought that might ruin the party. So we're forming a committee.

Someone suggested April Fools Day on August 21st but that's my wife's birthday so I wisely refrained from joining that discussion.

Another idea was Washington's Birthday in August. Of course, we would have to plan this for next year so we can plant a cherry tree in the spring. Then in August someone could cut it down and everyone could sit around and lie about it. This would be the same as every other August except for the tree.

Finally, the idea that the most people liked was St. Patrick's Day in July. We could all wear funny hats, dance to some silly music, drink large quantities of beer and puke randomly. Someone else said that sounded like so much fun that we ought to do it every weekend. I had to point out that we already were.
