We need more holidays

At Tartarus, there's this resistance to using the word "Christmas." We understand wanting to be multicultural and not wanting to offend anybody but you can take that to a ridiculous level. After finding a dozen different ways to say "Happy Holidays" it starts to look as if you have a Christmas phobia.

Santa! Snowmen! Candy canes! We've never been so scared!

What doesn't help the situation is that one Tartarus employee is a Jehovah's Witness. If you are unfamiliar with those folks, they don't celebrate anything. At all. This means that one of our coworkers can't be involved in anything Christmas related. This means that we are having a "winter cheer employee get-together". It seems we're not supposed to wish anyone a Merry Christmas. 

Imagine this is us reading that email.

As far as we can tell, most everyone, regardless of what they believe, is at least willing to wish you a Merry Christmas. So, we're having none of that. December is for holidays. In fact, even with Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza, we think December could use another holiday.

Spoof and Speck are pleased to introduce a brand spanking new holiday. We call it Wagspll. Wagspll is the celebration of the beatification of St. Ignatius DeSquiggle. We honor the Saint by eating delicious food, drinking fancy coffee, and reenacting the famous battle of the farm animals. 

Wagspll may well be the best holiday ever.
