Comments: The End of February

"All the months of the year
Curse a fair Februeer."
Old saying (Not sure what it means though)

I've had a similar idea for some time, recognizing that Feb is holiday-heavy just so we feel like we're getting more out of it and getting through it faster. I was proud of my theory and suggested it to some drinking buddies, who greeted it with stony silence. Three of them had Feb birthdays and two loved valentines day more than christmas. I'd offended them deeply. Hell, if they want to like Feb, it's their funeral.

I also think the day after "fall back" should be a holiday. They rip us off for an hour of sleep and then expect us to function at work? Bastards!

Hmmm ... I used to make a version of Sweet Potato Smash that called for Southern Comfort instead of maple syrup. It was called Festive Sweet Potatoes because everyone was so very festive after a few bites of the thing.

But but but, if we get rid of February I won't have a birthday anymore, hey thats not such a bad thing come to think of it. Alright, let's axe it!

Hey, I won't have a birthday anymore either! And neither will most of the people I know. (One year, all but one person in percussion ensemble was an Aquarius.) Around here, February brings artificial spring (it was 65 last week) before more rain. I think February makes us appreciate the other months even more.

I object! (Unless you agree that every day of the year is my birthday and you have to send me a present each one of those days. I have my price. I can be bought.)

YES. February could work for me too.

It all makes perfect sense to me, but then I just finished a glass of wine. (nope, not Burgundy!)
