January 12 is a holiday - Feast of
Fabulous Wild Men.
Now what kind of holiday is this? Well,
I tried to find out because as I've mentioned before and all who know me
can tell you I love chasing rabbits down trails. But as many of my
rabbits trails do this one led to a dead end. On the website –
Holiday Insights – they suggested surfing the net and feasting your
eyes on fabulous wild men... And in the effort to be a good blogger,
(cough, cough) I did so.
After an hour or so of that – I want
all the readers here to know it was done for this blog not personal
enjoyment (wink) – I decided I needed to finish writing this post.
I'm happy to report there are in fact many fabulous wild men out
there. I've included a picture of one of the wild men I really enjoyed feasting my eyes on:)
But what really started this stroll
down the rabbit trail was research for my holiday romance suspense
I'm currently working on. I know how my family celebrates, how my
husband's family celebrates, and close friends but what about
traditions I'm not familiar with. I want my characters to layered
and my plot to have some interesting elements which may be achieved by including some lesser known holiday's or ways of
celebrating those that are widely known.
Now I don't think my hero or heroine
will be partaking in any Feast of Fabulous Wild Men but I did
enjoy the eye candy the dead end supplied. I also did come across
some very interesting things that I will incorporate into my WIP.
I'd love to hear what are some of the
unique holidays or celebrates you've come across.
