FRIENDSHIP DAY

Last week we invited many of our friends over and celebrated FRIENDSHIP DAY, which is on February 12. I suppose it could be on February 11-15 depending on what suits your schedule. The main point about FRIENDSHIP DAY is it's not about eros; whether it's about philia or storge or some other kind of love I don't know about is unclear. On FRIENDSHIP DAY you invite all your friends over (like we did) and then you exchange heart-shaped FRIENDSHIP DAY cards and eat heart-shaped FRIENDSHIP DAY cookies. When a guest leaves, everyone tells him or her how great his or her job is. If the guest doesn't have a job, you can congratulate him/her on his/her life and/or friends. If you can't even congratulate the friend on his/her friends, you are a sorry set of people and I am sorry for you! and I hope that the nice work you did on your FRIENDSHIP DAY cards helps you to develop better self-esteem.

To get you started on next year's FRIENDSHIP DAY celebration, here are some photographs:

You can serve FRIENDSHIP DAY cookies on a fancy dessert thing.


Why not set up a FRIENDSHIP DAY cookie station where guests can make their own FDCs?


A card-craft station is essential to any FRIENDSHIP DAY celebration.


FRIENDSHIP DAY cards can make you feel sunny and well-loved . . .


or they can be literary . . .


culturally and technologically relevant . . .


politically somewhat topical . . .


they can reference somewhat recent popular movies . . .


They should DEFINITELY make use of holiday stickers available in mid-February . . .


And they can make you a little bit uncomfortable . . .


or even VERY uncomfortable. It's OK!


Friendship martinis are optional. If used, they should contain enough sugar to cause your friends to slow down and pass out in your La-Z-Boy, which will prolong the amount of time you will be able to enjoy their friendship.

HAPPY BELATED FRIENDSHIP DAY!
