Memorial day is a very special holiday. For some, it is a somber occasion for remembering fallen heroes who gave their very lives for this country. For some of us, it is a glorious victory day that we celebrate. We are happy we live in the USA. We are happy that we have family members to share this day with. We are particularly happy that we have a three day weekend. Woohoo! Enjoy your Memorial day weekend to the fullest.
Memorial day makes a wonderful holiday to get into the patriotic spirit of celebrating. Many do this in a wide and varied variety of ways. I will elaborate. You’ll enjoy. I hope. There is the party. Memorial day is a time to throw a party. I will break this down into three groups.
The official Memorial Day party: A party where you invite your coworkers, your family, your friends and your relatives. This will be a true Memorial to fallen heroes and those that gave their lives for our country. Flags are flying high in your yard. Every one will be clothed at this party, throughout the entire night. Every person will refrain from drinking too much, from boring the boss, from singing karaoke or from howling at the moon. All guests will leave the party at a decent hour. All will arrive home safe. Amen.
The friends Memorial Day party: A party where you invite your closest and coolest friends. They, in turn, invite their closest and coolest friends. They, in turn, invite almost everybody they know. You will not know the names of most of your party guests but, you will smile a lot and act like you do. That is, until the live band shows up and begins to play. Then, you will be too busy fielding off neighbors calling and complaining about the noise because, yes, you forgot to invite them! Also, you will be busy explaining to the police why you did not get a permit for: fireworks, a live band, a bon fire, permission for over thirty cars to park on your neighbor’s front lawn and so much more. See you in court. See your friends not care. See everyone having a darn good time. Oh well, it’s only once a year.
The Memorial Day party to end all Memorial Day parties: This party starts off innocently enough. A few friends and their friends. A few relatives and their significant others. This is where it becomes a bit complicated. Suddenly, you have ex’s and ex’s of ex’s in your back yard and they are all drunk! Oh oh. Throw in a few friends who don’t like their friend’s friends. A few may have dated each other before. Mercy. They have not seen one another in ten years and suddenly, it is Memorial Day with a vengeance! Oh, you will remember this party for a long time. You were planning on playing ACDC’s song For Those About To Rock, at midnight…well, guess what? The twenty-one gun salute is real. At least the backyard cleared out quickly. No time for recovering because, the remaining brave and patriotic guests, they have all shed their clothes and went skinny dipping in your pool. Some, not willingly. Oh oh. A few guests have decided to make dresses out of your Memorial Day flags and that is really cute. Until they accidentally dance through the fire blazing in the back yard. Thank God you have a pool! Whew. Then, karaoke night begins and the neighborhood dogs are not having it! They complete the night with your guests, all howling at the moon. Is it over yet? You don’t want to know. You go to bed and pray that they are all gone in the morning. Happy Memorial Day!
