7. What I was thinking of was my sister's group of friends

Many of them have no families to spend Christmas with, either none, or none local. They get together and have a hot dog cookout on Christmas Day. Since many are not Christian, none are Catholic, and few practice any religion, having water sprayed on their heads during their cookout would be more than annoying.

My sister has been hosting it for over 25 years - this year she passed the day along to another in the group. She still attended but didn't want to do all the work any more.

If some idiot crop duster flew over and sprayed water on them, it would not improve their moods...
