Rounding the Thanksgiving corner

We have rounded the corner to the High Holy Month of December and a rather large collection of celebratory holy days. Let us here detail December and the revelries we at the CSDR will partake in. The festivities begin on the 4th with the Birth celebration of our most loved brother David. Recently David has shown an inclination towards our most firmly held beliefs so naturally we wish to include him in our list. Hazzah dear brother!
On the heals of this celebration, nay barley enough time elapses to recover properly, is the birth celebration of the High Priestess of the Faith, co-founder of our order, recreator extrordinaire, and damn fine woman; TLL! That's right The Lovely Laura will be celebrating her 39th birthday (again) on the 11th. We will be recreating in high fashion that evening I can tell you.
Christmas is of course a day of celebration for many and for many reasons. For us at the CSDR it is the celbration of the Winter Solstice and marks the approch of not only the new year but also the Highest of all our annual celebrations marked on the day of the 29th. That being the birth of the High Priest of the faith, creative recreator and overall swell guy, our founder. That's right I consider my own birthday the most important celebration of the year and as the leader of the faith that is my right. (Of course, the Church of the Seven Day Recreationalist encourages all of it's members to consider the day of their own birth as the Highest of Holy on the calendar of each member. This leads to a wonderful collection of celebrations that spread themselves throughout the year which always is a good thing.)

Finally we like so many others will celebrate the arrival of the New Year in our own fashion, that being quite recreating at our own home. Since this is regarded as "Amateur Night" by the professional recreator, we consider it the safest and wisest decission to remain safely within your own castle walls. If you must venture out to recreate remember the simple rules of the faithful:
1. If you will be consuming the Holy Beverage or any of it's alcholic relations provide for your own transportation back to the safety of your abode. Don't attempt to do it your self. (Unless of course you can WALK back to safety!)
2. Enjoy, but don't be stupid.
December is always a memorable month, be sure you can join us for the next one!

The High Holy Month approches, join in our celebrations and be sure to add your own to our list. The more the merrier! Huzzah!

Silvertounge in the Desert

After his harrowing adventures at sea battling the wiley salmon we are plaesed to say the our dear brother is again in the lands of the living. After a brief visit to the land of music in Kentucky he rejoined the flock in Alaska to gather his wind. Then he was off again to play and drink and play to all points.
Recently he joined us in the desert at the home of the Church of the Seven Day Recreationalists food and holy beverage. We were all well pleased to gaze upon him and hear his tales. But alas his visit was to brief as he has gone on to the mysterious land of Texass. No doubt to spread the message of the CSDR to those poor under-recreated souls in the lone-star state. He has promised to return to the desert just after the annual tryptophan festival. (Colloquially known as Thanksgiving.) At which time he will be joined by his better and our Beloved Sister Princess M. All of us at CSDR look forward greatly to the company of both of them, for we have missed them mightily.
On a sad note, our Samhain celebration came to naught this year due to our home being in a sad state of repair due to our remodling project not being completed in a timely fashion, and that we had only one, that's right one, Trick-or-Treater come to our door. Made me want to cry really. So once it was clear we would be receiving no more knocks at the door, we proceeded to celebrate in the most grand fashion imaginable. (Actually we fell asleep in the living room watching TV. Oh, the shame.) It is for this reason and others that we were so thrilled to see Silvertounge, feeling that his very presence would lift the doldrum left on us by our failed Samhain celebration which it did. I can hardly wait until his return, hurry dear Brother, we can only keep the beer cold so long before we must partake. We'll try to save you some.
As the High Holy Month of December looms ever nearer and the stress that comes along with that accumulates remember that there is no finer lesson in life than to learn how to recreate when you are tearing out your hair. Afterall, if it doesn't fit who cares? You don't have to take it back! Enjoy!
