I finally buckled and self-published. Okay, it’s not fiction, it’s a political proposal for a new federal holiday. Even so, a big step!
There is a common sentiment (scientifically confirmed by psychologist Dr. Cliff Arnall) that January is the saddest month of the year. Yet, the typical American pattern is simply to collapse in a festivity coma immediately after New Year’s Eve, plunging into the cold, wet numbness of January with the momentum of a skydiver without an emotional parachute.
This manifesto lays out the emotional, political, and economic reasons America should establish a federal Winterfest holiday in late January or early February celebrating the arts, sports, food and other joyous aspects of the winter season.
A quick but inspiring read, the Winterfesto is chock full of ideas for transforming the post-holiday slump into a bright cap on the holiday season. It’s a holiday with something for everyone, conservatives and liberals, sports fans and arts fans, businesses and consumers, foodies, outdoorsy folks, and history buffs alike!

IT’S LESS THAN A BUCK!
