Shireroth

It has become evident to us that the Duchy of Antica needs a holiday.
Thusly, I propose:

That the fourth week of February be declared ANTICAN HISTORY WEEK, that we may celebrate Antican heroes of old.

Why the fourth week of February?

Because I'm celebrating other things on the third week.

Why February at all?

Because the only other month I would choose would be September, and I simply refuse to wait that long.

Why these months at all? Shouldn't there be a reason for a holiday?

Alright: February

There is nothing going on except Black History Month, St. Valentine's Day and President's Day. BHM and PD are wonderful, but Valentine's is a phony holiday.

And as for Sptember...it is the single most tedious month of the year.

If there's nothing else, I believe someone needs to propose we move to a vote.

The festivities would last from Tuesday the 21 to Tuesday the 28.

Incorrect. Jasonia Day, on February 19th, is one of the most significant February holidays for Shirerothians.

Besides the Battle of Cimmeria, it's the ONLY February holiday in Shireroth.

And besides, it's Semisuary.

As you said, Bill, important holidays for Shirerithians. But Antican history has little to do with Shirerithian holidays.

Then why don't we pick an important day for us, eh? December 1st? June 17th?

Alright. December 1st.

Ok, so how about...

Whereas, the Duchy of Antica has no established holidays of its own, and

Whereas, it would be of proper tradition to celebrate a day of foundation,

Be it resolved, that the first day of December shall be celebrated as Duchal Foundation Day


(unless you can come up with a better name for the holiday)

That would have my support. I propose we move to a vote.
