This is a simple thing, and i have only the most basic of ideas for it so far.

People still put up decorations for holidays. I know, i've seen them places. I've always thought they were stupid. Now i think i may have a use for them.

Two things sparked this idea mostly: people so lazy that they have Christmas lights up still, and the resulting thought: maybe i could distribute meme bombs year round with easter egg leftovers?

So i thought: wait a tic- why don't we do holiday decorating that's drastically out of season?

Shamrocks on Halloween; Nativity scenes on Veterans Day; Bats for Cinco De Mayo, etc....

ideas and feedback, plz.
Ya' stupid Yank.

We already do this. :)

Also we have a tradition that after Halloween the cobwebs stay up and are decorated with crabs for Yule.

That's awesome! What do you think about the easter egg idea? my hope is that a random mark will be bopping aroung, expecting holiday X decor everywhere, but then - "what's this? Easter eggs on New Years?"- his day gets at least slightly weird.

Also, I'm not sure anymore that this has the necessary potential for a GASM, but i have been assembling ideas for ways to package memes, so it's not for naught.

I definitely like the idea of putting up the "wrong" decorations for holidays, and also of going ridiculously all-out for decorations on holidays that don't normally have them at all... including making up a color scheme and "patron animal" for holidays that don't have them. Also, adding inappropriate animals to a holiday, like adding a shit-ton of owls to your May Day decorations.

Owls are easy to come by.

My friend has a large golden calf that he sets up for Walpurgis.

i forgot that one was even coming up. i think i might also like the idea of decorating for a completely fictitious holiday with a weird name (like walpurgisnacht or something...lol) so people 1) question why the decorations are up and/or 2) feel like they really drastically missed something.

i know quite a bunch of people that celebrate a big Christmas dinner or Sinterklaas* somewhere in spring or summer, either because they hadnt gotten around to it yet (with that particular friends group) or because they think the "holiday season" (oct-december) is busy enough as it is :)

* december 5th, Dutch holiday where we give presents kinda like you do on Christmas

My housemate and daughter were drawing pictures of ghosts and candy yesterday, and captioning them:

Ghosts give us candy

I am thankful for ghosts,
because they bring candy
on Easter and the other holidays.

HAPPY EASTER!
