Jul-A-Palooza (noun): an international, multi-day festival celebrating good health, good friends and good times.

This being its first official year of celebration, highlights will include games, dancing, trips to the French Riviera, ripping Absinthe and many other forms of drunken debauchery. So for those of you reading at home, take a moment to reflect during this holiday weekend, hug the person nearest to you (regardless of whether or not you know them) and celebrate yourself retarded.
*incessant photography, sing-alongs, unnecessary speeches and sleep-overs are encouraged.
