Poll question: Holidays Poll
Which one of the holidays do you celebrate, if any?
I am celebrating Propanukah. What is Propanukah? Well, I'm glad you asked, because I am always happy to foist my beliefs on an unsuspecting public.
A little background: As some of you know, we here at the Ashling household have been having sort of a tough scrape lately. We are, to put it delicately, broke. There is no money for anything. We are selling our home here in the country at an extreme loss to keep it out of foreclosure. My truck is, well, dead, and we won't be able to get it fixed until the house closes and we at least have a little money. Worst of all, we are out of propane. We use it to cook and heat water and dry clothes. At least, it should be out. Our propane tank has showed empty for some time. The propane guy won't deliver any unless I buy at least $200 worth. Needless to say, I have not been able to buy any.

And that, my dear DU friends, is the central event marked by Propanukah: The continuation of the propane. I have been expecting it to suddenly be gone for 7, 8 days now ... but each day there is miraculously more propane, though the tank says empty.

Tonight is the traditional baking of the Propanukah Cinnamon Rolls. I'm not sure, but I think the propane goes out as soon as I put them in the oven (Hey, it's a new tradition. I am still figuring these things out.) I'm also taking suggestions for other Propanukah traditions.

So, what is your holiday?
