If you looked at my phone's photos, you'd think every day was Wolfenoot here! We also are not big on certain holidays, especially those involving fireworks or firearms, and often both. I haven't been out to see fireworks or celebrate New Year's since some time in the late 1980's - early 1990's when we realized one of our dogs was terrified by the noises on those days.
That said, I do have a second holiday to recommend. "Wake up woodchuck chuckers, it's, Groundhog Day!" It comes at the midpoint of winter. There are no songs. No requirements. No big lead up. No family gatherings. No set meals. There's the morning gig with Punxsutawney Phil and his copycats, Buckeye Chuck, Thistle the Whistle Pig, Staten Island Chuck, Pierre C. Shadeaux, and other rodent weather forecasters.
And no cards. In fact, if you walk into, say, a Walgreens, and politely inquire as to where the Groundhog Day cards are since you could not find them, you will be greeted by an astonished stare and the question, " Did you WANT one??!?"
From a fellow July 4, Halloween, and New Years Grinch, you are in good company. Would prefer to take a trip up to BC, or go camping in a national forest (where fireworks are banned) the week of July 4. But need to stay home and make sure our cats and house are ok.
Well, now that I know Noveember 23 is a holiday. I think I will sing some songs with my dogs. Charlie usually will sing along. Toby has been learning to sing. But he may be adopted by November 23rd. Who knows. If not he will get more singing practice. I just got a new book to read to the dogs. They don't seem to care if I read the same book to them several times. This one is about a dog that has anxiety about several things. It's called "Don't Worry Murry" The old standard of books I read to the dogs is by Charles Shultz. I was given a copy of it for my 5th birthday by my oldest brother. "Happiness is a warm puppy" . So now I have plans for Wolfenoot.

Never mind how I know.

Cheers to Wolfenoot! I celebrate Thanksgiving with my pets, make them a nice meal.
