EVERY YEAR MY FAMILY GATHERS AT MY HOUSE FOR A CHRISTMAS DAY
CELEBRATION. I'VE STARTED TO CALL THIS GATHERING THE "FOOL'S
CHRISTMAS" BECAUSE OF THE STRANGE ACTIVITIES WE DO. EACH YEAR WE
TRY TO TOP THE LAST YEAR'S SILLINESS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ALWAYS
INSULTS TO EACH OTHER, A LARGER ACTIVITY ALSO TAKES SHAPE. SOME
EXAMPLES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS ARE THE SINGING OF SHOW TUNES WITH
GENDER REVERSALS FOR THE LEADING ROLES AND THE CONSTRUCTION AND
WEARING OF REINDEER ANTLERS MADE OF GROCERY BAGS.

Where learned: MICHIGAN ; ROSEVILLE

Subject headings: CUSTOM FESTIVAL -- December 25 Christmas Also see F642, below.
