Burns Night
This is the anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in Ayr, Scotland. The Burns Night celebrations conducted by Scots all over the world with haggis, whisky¹, and poetry.
Wikipedia has a description of the standard celebration, but easy on the malt or you may end up with a William McGonagall morning.
In honor of the occasion a bit of Robby Burns for the GOP “leadership”:
The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain
For promis’d joy!To a Mouse
1. This is the correct spelling when referring to Scotland’s “water of life”.

This is the holiday where they address the haggis? Just as long as they’re not trying to address it to a U.S. address — it’s still illegal to sell actual real haggis in the USA :(.
The “Great chieftain o’ the puddin-race!” is still considered not exactly food by the FDA. Perhaps you could appeal to the Desolation of Drumpf to remove this discriminatory regulation against sheep innards and oatmeal.
