It’s the Third of November, the Feast of Saint Hubert! I’d like to wish you all many happy returns of the day.

According to legend, Hubertus went hunting on Good Friday and saw a stag with a cross between its antlers. The deer gave Hubertus the riot act and lectured him on Fair Chase. A talking deer was too much for Humbertus, who fell to his knees and prayed to God, promising to give up drinking Jaeger Bombs. When he got back to town, he renounced everything and became a holy man.

Moral: Jagermeister is bad for you.

Around our house, we celebrate The Feast of Saint Hubert the way other folks celebrate Christmas. It makes sense. This way y’all get to play with your presents during Deer Season instead of having to wait a whole year.

After the presents are unwrapped, Angus and I put on our Lederhosen and parade up and down the driveway. KYHillChick puts on her Dirndl and throws rose petals in front of us while we march with our boar spears. Angus plays the Dudelsak. You’re supposed to then get really drunk and go out shooting at this point, but that’s a little silly for us.

Anyhow. Happy Saint Hubert’s Day y’all.
