Weekly Challenge #236: Write about a popular holiday

Directions:
1. Post on the challenge thread, declaring the goals you have committed to. This must be done before midnight on Monday.
2. When you have finished your goals, post on the challenge thread again, stating what goals you have completed, how many times you have completed them, and whether any of them were combined.
3. At midnight on Saturday you are not allowed to report any more finished goals, and the challenge is over.

Rules:
1. You can repeat the weekly challenges, and get more points, but if you repeat your own personal goal, you will not get extra points.
2. The organizer has the right to veto any personal goal that seems too easy (i.e. writing a sentence).

Points:
You can earn points in these ways:
1. completing the weekly challenge
2. repeating the weekly challenge
3. completing your personal goal
4. combining your personal goal and the weekly challenge

Weekly Challenge Completed: Noodle Ring Day
Personal Goal Completed (17 Dec 2016 @ 12:57 AM)

Which quickly inspired "Ulricehamn Liberation Day". Still, I think the Noodle Ring is more poignant.

And a real Holiday ... Sunday, Dec 11 is National Noodle Ring Day.

For anyone working on this, TODAY (Dec 15) is ...

National Wear Your Pearls Day

National Cupcake/ Lemon Cupcake Day

Bill of Rights Day

Cat Herders Day

(In case you needed inspiration for a holiday)

And I finally finished this yesterday!!

Made it. Can't say the most artistic, but done.
