You are about to enter a hopefully well behaved family zone if you celebrate any of the holidays around this time of year. Your fish expect you to act like a vertebrate and treat everyone well, even your Uncle Rodney who hates all that is good and is terrified of all that is different from him. It is a time of family for many, whatever their beliefs. Most of us get a few days off here. You are apt to end up in boring parties with people who look like you but act like the demons that haunt you.
So happy Tib's eve, an ancient Newfoundland tradition where you get together with your friends (the company you choose) and have fun before the more formal holidays kick in. Whether your friends are your family, or previously random strangers you've crossed paths with, December 23rd is a day to eat, drink, sing, dance and be merry (and possibly a bit wild and even badly behaved) with your friends. Don't spill anything in the fishtanks, and don't let this obscure day be commercialized.
