The Feast of Saint Loo Loo

You probably don't know it but the Feast of Saint Loo Loo is coming up.

It's April 29th! Same as it has been for the last goodness 11 years!

You are right now racking your brain." What? "  you ask yourself. "Is it that time already you play along but then in the end you finally cave.

What is the Feast of Saint Loo Loo you ask? I am so disappointed. Of course you didn't know. It's made up!!!!

My family has a habit of making up our own holidays. We celebrate them with gusto and glory as though it is just as important as Easter, Christmas, The 4th of July, or Pioneer Day (We're from Utah we have to celebrate Pioneer Day). We have several of these made up holidays. A few of them have already passed this year and no one sent me a card. How sad!

We have the following hoildays and now you are warned I expect at least an e- card:

Mother Goose Day (January 1st)

Peter Piper Day (the day you get your taxes back)

Pippy Longstocking Day (whenever you feel like a holiday)

The Feast of Saint Loo Loo (April 29th)

Bob Hope's Birthday (May 29h not made up but still important to note)

I will post something about each of these holidays as they get closer.

So the Feast of Saint Loo Loo came about one night as my sister's (2 of the 7) and a friend were hanging out and watching Muppets Treasure Island. We had just gotten to the scene when Jim, Rizzo, and Gonzo go to see Squire Trewlaney about a ship. They knock on the door and are told by the butler that Squire Twelaney is in Bath for his gout and will return next month on a ship called The Feast of Saint Loo Loo. In that instant we knew we had a holiday in the making.

The next day just happened to be a friday April 29th, 2000 in fact. We gathered Polynesian music, all kinds of exotic fruit. We drank fruit punch, sang along to the music and watched Muppets Tresure Island together.

Then we did it again the next year and the next year and the next year and then they all moved away (the bastards). So here I am alone in Vegas and The Feast of Saint Loo Loo is fast approaching. This year I refuse to celebrate alone. I invite all of my readers world wide to celebrate with me.

Let's get our Loo Loo on!
