Raw Story - Celebrating 20 Years of Independent Journalism · Mother of Michigan school shooter is found guilty of manslaughterBy Sky Palma

Merry "Seagull Day", a nice Christmas story.

"My Mom Canceled Christmas And Invented A New Holiday. We Doubted Her At First — But Now It’s Our Favorite Day.", Amy McHugh, #Huffpost

"A decade ago, my mother announced we were no longer celebrating Christmas. Instead, we’d celebrate Seagull Day. I was sure she’d seen it on Pinterest.

'No, no,' she said. 'It’s something I thought up all on my own. We are going to decorate a tree with stale food from the cabinet and leave it for the seagulls to eat. Those guys must get hungry in winter when there aren’t any sandwiches to steal out of people’s hands.' "

This is a nice and happy family story, fit for the holiday season.
