I have avoided those kind of holy days--though I sort of get it--the uniforms and horns and frolicking and gambling the thrill of community in sanctified conflict. My two cats were named Cheech and Ryan by their original owners--Phillies, of course. I used to hold 12/1 holy. That's International AIDS Memorial day. BTW, I think "By all that's Holy" is an oath of sorts--which leads me to ask what this oath is based on?

First and foremost, the day of the Super Bowl (American football championship) and secondly the World Series (baseball championship).
