You know I think the English (and by connection, the Canadians, the Aussies & Kiwis) have the right idea. This holiday after Christmas is a good thing… Boxing Day. I mean… here it is… the biggest Holiday of the year… and what happens the day after? Another Holiday!
Now that’s how you do things. This puts off “Post Christmas Syndrome” off for at least 24 hours.
I like it.
And I think we should spread the joy to other Holidays. For example, Mardi Gras. Now we can’t have another celebration the day after… that pinches into Lent & I don’t think the Church would be particularly happy with women showing their breasts for beads on Ash Wednesday.
My idea is to do it the day before Mardi Gras… we can call it Mayhem on Monday. And the twist here, a string of beads will be exchanged for lifting up of skirts, or dropping of trou as the situations require.
Now I decided to take this idea for a “test drive” last week… loaded with beads I hit the street. I think I have to iron out my approach… I got slapped twice and an under cover cop told me to beat it…
I’m not giving up, though….
Today is “Eat the Candy and Appraise the Jewelry Day”. I have a conference call with the head of Hallmark’s R & D Department… they were receptive… we’ll kick a few concepts around.
It may be time to give up my day job!
