Random December Holidays

We never turn down an opportunity to celebrate something.  Arbor Day?  Time to pull out the Jason Mraz concert tee of the pine tree riding a bicycle!  Mickey Mouse's birthday?  Let's head to Disneyland!  The anniversary of Luke and Laura's wedding?  Bring on the General Hospital binge marathon!

One of the main branches of Adventure is interaction.  Having an adventure together is probably the most fun way to connect with other people besides, you know, literally "connecting" (wink wink).  Every time you put on an Ugly Christmas Sweater you are actively participating in Adventure and thus, Life.  And, as an added bonus, you are entertaining the people around you.

Now let's talk about December.  We hear that there's this big holiday with, like, twinkle lights and candy canes?  Jolly guys and red-nosed reindeer?  Gingerbread houses and randomly singing it the streets?  Spending way too much time in Target because gifts?  Okay, just kidding, we love Christmas.  Like, A LOT.  But, guess what - there are a lot of other Random Holidays waiting to be celebrated in December too.  Don't let them suffer because they happen to occur in the same month as the Best Holiday Ever!  Support your favorite Random Holiday today... or on whatever day it happens to actually be on.  I think this paragraph is getting away from us.  CHRISTMAS!
