MOOSEMAS is a grand old Erisian tradition. It started the early 80s (as far as I can tell) and serves as a great wackadoo replacement for the other seasonal holidays popularized by Orthodox Consumerism.
Moosemas can be celebrated at any time, in any number of ways. The default is some kind of spagan brouhaha, including Halloweeny costumes. My cabal celebrates it as a brunch party with formal attire. We hang up moose pictures all over the place and start drinking Moosemosas at 10 AM. Here are some other activities on our typical moosemas list:
- Make Chocolate Moose
- Drink Peppermoose tea
- Moose around
- Stand under the Moosletoe
- Make hot Applemoose Cider
- Drink Moose Beer
- Yell MOOSLETOV!
- Sing Moosemas day songs [1]
- Eat Moose Cookies
- Watch Moosemas specials (bork bork bork!)
- Moose out
- Take photos for next year’s moosemas day cards
The original Moosemas guide has lots of tips and awful puns if you’re stuck for ideas.
Here are some pictures from Moosemas past.

Chloe and I, possessed by the spirit of St. Nicklemoose
What a divine chocolate cake!
A number of cabalmates were in attendance, including Eve, Ean, Moose, Golden Rod and his wife.
2009:

This was pretty early in the day. I think we had 15 to 20 people celebrating with us by sunset.

I’m holding a glass of moosenog we made from scratch. And rum.
This is one of those awesome holydays that I wish more people knew about. Are you celebrating Moosemas this year? We’d love to hear about it, and if possible, see some pictures!
