Last week I glanced at my calendar before going to the grocers and thought, "Hey the 17th is Friday. I always forget St. Patricks Day. I won't forget this year." So I bought what I needed to make corned beef. On Friday, I make said corned beef, wondering why no one had mentioned St. Patricks Day on the web. And I thought, "Oh I should have wished everyone a happy St. Pats day on the post I did for Melissa's Imaginarium."
After that, it dawned on me that it's still February, not March. So, I wished the Husband Unit a Happy Un-St. Patricks Day when he got home. His week as brutally busy as mine, he absently replied, "Happy Thanksgiving." lol
So, we decided from now on February 17th is Patsgiving. Hope you had a happy one. Next year, I'll plan a Patsgiving party.
Here for links.
As a teenager, Julia survived a suicide pact, while her best friend Rachel died. Julia’s only escape from her guilt, and her mother’s over-protection, is her imagination. When Adam arrives in the office, Julia’s world takes a startling turn as she realises reality can be much more fun than fantasy. Finally she has someone who can help her make the most of her life. But can she allow herself to be truly happy?
Thanks to Annalisa for the Kreativ and Versatile blogger awards. She also tagged me.
I'm tagging you all back with the following question. Which fictional character would you like to be for a day?
I'd pick the blonde girl who lost her shoes in Harry Potter.
And Thanks to Brian Hutchinson for the 7x7 Award.
Have you ever invented a holiday?

Lovely Blog MPax, you certainly deserve the awards! Noticed you publish with Smashwords too! Came from Alex's site, it is nice to meet you.
I've tried. But my employer doesn't seem too keen on honoring MY holidays. The fact that I forget about them until the day they are celebrated does nothing to take away from their importance.
I like Patsgiving! If I had a choice I'd be Pippi Longstocking - I used to watch the series as a kid all the time.
Wow, not sure I've ever been off my a MONTH before. :P
But, hey, who doesn't need more celebrations in life. Happy Patsgiving, and congrats on the awards.
Getting a jump on the holidays has its pluses. :-) I'm afraid I also tagged you. You are one popular person.

LOL! omg--you had me going for a second. I was like, "Wait... I thought it was in March!" :D
Happy Patsgiving to you~ <3
I just tagged you today, too. Hope you do it. I'd love to know more about you!!
Nice meeting you, CM. I'll pop by your place later.
It's terrible your holidays aren't honored by your employer, Rusty.
I thought about Pippi, Marta. I loved reading her stories.
Hopefully that isn't coming through in my edits, LG--the scattering of thought.
Oh, tag party, Lee and Nancy. I'll probably get to it next week.
I was very confused Friday, Leigh. lol
LOL LOL I love Patsgiving! I'm going to celebrate from now on. And, it's understandable you got confused on the date when you have been doing so much writing and meeting deadlines!
Congrats on your awards!
Loving the new holiday!
And loving the look of Annalisa's book - I noticed this somewhere yesterday too - I think this is a hint that I should go and buy it!
Happy Monday

That cracked me up about St. Patrick's Day. I'm always getting days and months mixed up. Who would I want to be for one day? Emma Woodhouse on her wedding day.
What a cute story... and the husband unit telling you Happy Thanksgiving. LOL!
Patsgiving. :-D
Reminds me of Happy Festivus, the made up celebration around Christmas from the Seinfeld character George Costanza.
There's a lot of holidays like this one. Happy Patsgiving or whatever you want to call it.
Congrats on the award.
I was directed here from Alex's blog, and am now following you.
Congratulations on the award!
I think it would be fun to be Luna also, M.
What would you do for a Patsgiving Party?
Congrats on your awards.
I've never invented a holiday but I like yours! We should make a blogfest out of it next year.
Excellent, Julie. Another convert. I will plan next years festivities.
Happy Monday, Laura.
lol Loretta. I laughed a good 20 minutes Friday when I realized my mess up.
Have a happy one, Michael.
Yay, good to meet you, Jeremy. Following you back.
Ah, that was her name! Thank you, Tabatha. Fitting I picked Luna :)
Yes, Alex. It must be a blogfest. Must.
I hosted a Twitter party last Sat. night and got confused on my time zones. I had them exactly flipped. Sooooo....a holiday, a month, a time zone. It's hard to keep it straight.lol
Oh dear. That's just too cute. I think I'll look forward to your Happy Patsgiving post for next year :-)
Happy Patsgiving, then!
Congratulations on the awards. :)
Very clever, I like the Patsgiving concept!
I made a similar mistake years ago turning up at an Irish friends house with a crate of Guinness, for him to just stare at me saying "Dude you're a month early!"
With St. Paddy's Day right around the corner, I'd better get stocked up on Guinness and Jameson before the liquor stores are cleared out.
lol! Thats something I'd do!!
Happy Patsgiving! (awesome!)
Hey, I never invented a holiday, but I should definitely think of one. Maybe JayDay, but I'm afraid it's too self-vain, Lol! Kiddin' of course.
Congratulation on your blogger award!
Any time is right for corned beef. Now I'm craving it.

Happy Patsgiving to you too! If I could be a character for a day, I'd be Sam Vimes from the Discworld.
The banter is such a cool-guy insight into your relationship with your husband.
I like.
St Pats is always fun... hope you have a great one.
you sillies! another insignificant february holiday, hee hee!
nice!
The weather has been so odd here, I'm a little confused about the month too. I think we can't have too many holidays. :)
Happy Paxgiving....I would love to be in Ariel' feet.
Good to hear I'm not the only one who gets confused, Brinda.
I look forward to the celebration next year, Angela :)
A happy one to you, Eagle.
Hugs to you, Sammy.
Great story, G. Great to know I'm not the only one to have made this mistake. lol
Yum, Brandon and Bryan.
I'm just wondering what holiday I'll screw up next, Lynda. lol
JayDay sounds like a great one, Jay.
Husband unit ate it all, Lee. I'll make it again in March. I guess.
That's a great character, Jamie.
Laughter does make a hellish week easier, Suze.
I won't forget this year, Tania. lol
A friend suggested green turkey and cranberry beer, Tara. That sounds complicated though.
I knew my deadlines are next week, so I knew it was February, Tonja. I really don't know what I was thinking.
What a happy character, Rek.
I'm tired of the same 'ol holidays anyway.
If I had to be any fictional character, I'd be Willy Wonka.
Definitely one of the overly beautiful Twilight vampires. Maybe Rosalie.
Thanks for stopping by to see Angela's profile!
Hilarious! Happy Patsgiving sounds like a good tradition to have. But the question is, will you duplicate your celebration ON St. Patrick's Day?
I didn't post about it, but we had the same meal! As long as the cabbage is not overcooked, it's one of my favorite things to eat. We eat it anytime!
Happy belated Patsgiving!
