Brother Daniel predisposition to antagonism Kodos the Executioner Mod: HASH, Philo, Math, THC : Jun 2008 : on the shore of the North Atlantic : 15,670	The Big TR Holiday Thread This is where TalkRats can wish each other a blessed and joyous ______, where you can fill in the blank with any existing holiday from any religious tradition whatsoever. Because ya never know, there may be someone here who celebrates it. Today is the Aga Khan's birthday! So to all you Ismā'īlī Muslims out there, have fun! And happy St. Lucy's day, for those of you who are fans of the "queen of light". (I hear "Luciadagen" is a fairly big thing in Sweden.)

Is that the day we remember one group of Micmac homeland invaders expelled another group of Micmac homeland invaders, and shipped them off to Louisiana?

It seems to be more specifically about those who died in the process of being shipped somewhere:

:

The Federation des Associations de Familles Acadiennes of New Brunswick and the Société Saint-Thomas d'Aquin of Prince Edward Island has resolved that December 13 each year shall be commemorated as "Acadian Remembrance Day" to commemorate the sinking of the Duke William and the nearly 2000 Acadians deported from Ile-Saint Jean who perished in the North Atlantic from hunger, disease and drowning in 1758.[12] The event has been commemorated annually since 2004 and participants mark the event by wearing a black star.

December 14th.

Joyous Day of the Martyred Intellectuals (Bangladesh)

:

On 14 December 1971, over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals including professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, and writers were picked up from their homes in Dhaka by the Al-Badr militias and Pakistani Army. They were taken blindfolded to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city. Later they were executed en masse, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur. In memory of the martyred intellectuals, December 14 is mourned in Bangladesh as Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibosh ("Day of the Martyred Intellectuals").

Philadelphia Eagles fans boo Santa Claus

:

The incident took place at halftime of the final home game for the Eagles. The team was awful and the owners had planned a large Christmas celebration at halftime. However, the celebration was cancelled due to the snow. Instead, a young man in a Santa suit came out to entertain at halftime. The Eagles fans took out their frustrations by booing.

In practice, not too much.

It's also National Lemon Cupcake Day

That one may not get much attention either.

Friiig.

I chose my holiday travel dates very poorly. I'm missing like 50 things I would have wanted to do. I'll be back for new years, though.

Most Americans don't even like the Bill of Rights.
