Once upon a time an odd collection of friends congregated in a large house with patient neighbors, a few porches, a pool(officially no one drown) and a garden well fertilized in one spot. There were birthday parties, theme parties, Sunday gatherings, Saturday gatherings, weekday gatherings and there may have been some sex, and drinking, and loud music and drinking, but not drugs, and did I mention drinking. After the house, referred to as the "Farmhouse" tragically burned down, they gathered every first Saturday of December to mourn the loss of dear friends who not surprisingly owed quite a bit of money to some very unsavory characters with an affection for arson*.

Candles, duct tape, det. cord and mason jars suspected of being full of gasoline are banned from all events, so as not to bring back bad memories.
* Blatant lie, except for the part about getting together for dinner every December.
