Our bosses weren’t sure about selling these earrings today because “no gift-giving holidays are coming up.” Many Mehers buy jewelry for themselves, but many others give them as gifts. Yet summer is a gift-giving desert. Mother’s Day has long passed, Christmas looms well over the horizon, and the summer holidays focus more on grilling meat and shooting roman candles at nephews than gifting.
But our bosses forgot about one summer gift-giving holiday: I’m Sorry About What Happened At The Bachelor Party Day.
Like Easter, this holiday doesn’t have a fixed date, but often falls in the late summer months – usually on a Monday. Traditions for I’m Sorry About What Happened At The Bachelor Party Day differ regionally, but usually involve one or several the following observances:
- The “hangover morning” in which the celebrant lies in bed and works up the courage to apologize
- The “apology and abject prostration” which can last anywhere from 10 minutes to as much as 10 hours in some households
- The “giving of gifts” (traditionally Swarovski Huggie Earrings)
- The “putting sheets on the couch,”
In recent years some have bemoaned the so-called War On I’m Sorry About What Happened At The Bachelor Party Day. These traditionalists cite the popular “What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas” slogan, which flies in the face of the I’m Sorry About What Happened At The Bachelor Party Day spirit. (For those not familiar with the true meaning of this slogan, we recommend Norm McDonald’s concise explanation.)
But for many the holiday remains a cherished feature of the summer months – a way of marking the changing seasons and reconnecting with loved ones (after the traditional STD screening). For them, these earrings are the perfect gift.
