Urbandictionary word of the day:   Festivus

n. An alternative to the crass commercialization of Christmas, typically celebrated on December 23. Festivus is a holiday created by Mr. Castanza after he failed to buy a doll for his beloved son George. It involves The Airing of Grievances (telling your family and friends all the ways they have disappointed you during the year) and does not end until the Feats of Strength (pinning the head of the family in a wrestling match) are accomplished. A plain, metal pole is used in lieu of a Christmas tree, because decorations (such as tinsel) are distracting from the true meaning of the holiday. The holiday's motto is "a Festivus for the rest of us". For a period of over 20 years, Festivus was suspended from celebration only to be reincarnated by Cosmo Kramer in 1998.

Nate: Dear Cam, you let me down with the beer pong tournament when we came in dead last this year.

Cam: Dear Nate, I hate festivus. It was your own fault.

Another Festivus miracle! 

Song of the week: Faith Hill, O Holy Night

Notable Accomplishments: Hanover members have officially finished their xmas shopping (with five days to spare!). Lexy had a competition in Baltimore; they hit 3/5 stunts. Ron's car has been returned. Carinne planned a cookie exchange at work that went fabulously. If Santa's reindeer get sick, Lana and Scout have been chosen to be backups.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week: On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is pretty demonic, and 10 is Mother Theresa, rank yourself on your naughty/nice-ness this year. Santa's watching, so evaluate yourself honestly.

FWN Member of the Week: Christine! Her birthday is next Friday!

Christine's favorite reindeer is Vixen. In high school her mascot was the red devils. She wears size 8 ½ shoes and she can hold her breath for ~30 sec (due to a chest cold).

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Classifieds:  Cold house? Need to warm it up? Burn some coal! Call Cam n Nate after Thursday to purchase some at half price due to a surplus!

Look for more next time,
