Happy Saint Hubert’s Day!

After a late night watching election returns, it’s time to put on my lederhosen and decorate my boar spear with garlands. KYHillChick is trying to get into her dirndl. Angus? You didn’t think there’d be German bagpipes, did ya? He’s tuning up his duddlesak. We’re even decorating the dogs with fake antlers. At sunrise, we’ll begin parading up and down the driveway in our one-family pageant.

So how are y’all spending Saint Hubert’s Day? As you may remember, we were all trying to decide on a better day than Christmas for gift giving. It sucks being a deer hunter and having to wait almost a whole year to try your stuff out. Back in 2005 folks on The 24HourCampfire.com decided to make the Feast of Saint Hubert the official day of gift giving for hunters.

Of course, being a Cincy Krauthead, that was just dandy for me. Us folks are big on this sort of thing. We haven’t been able to get much interest in our neighborhood. In fact, we’re just parading up and down the driveway this morning. However, I’m wondering what y’all are up to? Let me know what you got! Let me know what you gave! Send pictures of your Saint Hubert’s Day festivities.
