You have to bring a llama to the noble lord on whose land your herd grazes.

Which is exactly why I have so many of them back at the castle.

We're having people over. This will involve the new fruits of my ice cream maker, because it's, you know, August.

Okay, I give up.

I am reminded of a wonderful sandwich shop in Front Royal, Virginia (now closed, sadly) that observed Baha'i holidays. We'd stop by for lunch whenever our travels took us in that direction, but we never knew if they'd be open or not.

I honor of Llamas Day, the Dolly Llama...

My birthday. I put the party on a Saturday because it makes it (slightly) more likely that, say, my sister will come. The eight religious ones shift around, and Oscar Day's usually a Sunday of late (though my sister doesn't like the Oscars), but I care most if people attend my birthday party, so I put it on a day when most people don't have work the next day.

The Oscars once preempted Star Trek TNG on one of the local channels.
I'm still kinda grouchy about that.
